The NBA All-Star game in recent years has been a display of offensive firepower from the best players in the world.  Defence doesn't enter the building and usually the scores are outrageous, like last year's 192-182 final.

Even though the score was quite high this year, there was a different feel throughout the game, especially in the 4th quarter as both Team LeBron and Team Stephen locked in on the defensive end of the floor in order to secure a win.  In the end, it was James' squad that came out on top in thrilling fashion.

LeBron was named All-Star game MVP (deservedly so) as he led all players with 29 points and also added 9 rebounds and 8 assists.

Once the game was over, the internet congratulated LeBron and his team on a thrilling victory.
