NBA All-Star Game 2024: It's a shooting showcase for MVP Damian Lillard, Tyrese Haliburton in blowout East win

Sunday's NBA All-Star Game turned into an extension of Saturday's 3-point contest.

With little resistance, hometown All-Star Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard put on a show from long distance as the Eastern Conference cruised to a 211-186 win over the Western Conference. Lillard, fresh off his second straight 3-point contest victory, earned MVP honors for a 39-point night.

The East effort marked the first 200-point performance in All-Star Game history in a contest that was more exhibition than competitive game. The previous scoring record was 196 points by the West in 2016.
