DENVER – The All-Star Game is roughly two months away from being held in Toronto, but on Sunday night two Western Conference teams produced a reasonable facsimile to the kind of offensive exploits that take place at the league’s midseason showcase. In an old-fashioned shootout, New Orleans outlasted Denver, despite allowing a season-high 74 first-half points.
