NBA All-Star Game 2012 Final Score: West Wins Squeaker 152-149
The last four minutes of the game were wild and competitive. LeBron hit two monster three-pointers late, and missed a third that would have set the world on collapsing unto itself. But he had a bad turnover with the East down three in the closing seconds. He tried to hit Wade with a cross-court pass after an offensive rebound by Deron Williams, but saw the ball intercepted.
That play came shortly after Wade mishandled an outlet pass. Here’s a clip with both turnovers.
Durant won the MVP award.
