Anthony Davis breaks Wilt's All-Star scoring record, earns MVP honors

NEW ORLEANS -- Pelicans star Anthony Davis openly proclaimed ahead of Sunday's All-Star Game that he was going after the MVP award, and didn't make his master plans on how to do so much of a secret.

"Coach Gentry already told me every time I catch it to put it up," said Davis upon being selected to his fourth straight spot on the Western Conference team.

The Western Conference All-Stars seemed to have no problems feeding him on his home floor at the Smoothie King Center.

Davis took an All-Star record 39 shots and finished with 52 points to lead the West over the East at the 66th All-Star Game, 192-182 -- the highest-scoring game in league history.
