NBA: Wade claims deserved MVP honors as East win All-Star Game

Led by 28 points from MVP Dwyane Wade, the Eastern Conference All-Stars outlasted their Western Conference counterparts 141-139 in front of more than 108,000 fans in Dallas.

The Miami Heat shooting guard added 11 assists while LeBron James chipped in with 25 and Chris Bosh added 23 as the East withheld a fourth quarter rally from the West, for whom Chauncey Billups scored 14 of his 17 points in the final 12 minutes.

Carmelo Anthony paced the West with 27 points and home favorite Dirk Nowitzki poured in 22. Anthony had a chance to be the hero in the final seconds but he was off target with a potential game-winning 3-pointer and the East escaped.
