Chris Paul leads All-Stars in assists
While Russell Westbrook took home the MVP and nearly set a scoring record for the NBA All-Star Game with 41 points on 28 shots, the Clippers’ Chris Paul led the game with 15 assists. Paul is the all-time leader in assists per All-Star game (12.5). Magic Johnson has the top two single game assist totals, with 22 in 1984 and 19 in 1988.
In case you want to see what 163-158 looks like on paper, here’s the 2015 All-Star Game box score.
Zach LaVine NBA dunk contest highlights
Spencer Hawes called it – Zach LaVine runs away with dunk contest:
Said it when I saw @ZachLaVine at @JCrossover Pro Am this summer it wouldn't be much of a competition. Looks like another Seattle Dunk champ

Hawes wasn’t the only one, of course, but LaVine put the excitement back in the contest. The highlights are good morning viewing.
