Records were made at the 2024 NBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, Ind.
The Eastern All-Stars cruised to a 211-186 victory over the West Sunday night in a contest predictably permeated with little defensive intensity and inflated scoring.
Karl-Anthony Towns led all scorers with 50 points, though his efforts for the West didn't bear fruit.
Damian Lillard led the East with 39 points en route to securing the MVP award. Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown added 36 while home-team hero Tyrese Haliburton posted 32.
