East defeats West 211 to 186 in All-Star Game in Indianapolis. Damian Lillard elected MVP of the match.
Karl-Anthony Towns top scorer with 50 points. The game allowed LeBron James to celebrate his 20th All- Star Game selection, a record at age 39 for his 21st NBA season. The All-star Weekend as a whole was quite laborious, with many players missing out on a chance to play in the final of the young talents tournament. The event will now return to the traditional East against West format, after six years.
