The 2015 NBA All-Star Game did little to help the perception that players actually play defense in this league, but at least its annual glorified pickup game was a ton of fun to watch! Last night’s contest between the Western and Eastern Conference was the highest scoring All-Star Game in NBA history with the West emerging victorious, 163-158.

In case you had an belated Valentine’s day plans and had to miss the All-Star Game (or any of Saturday’s action), here’s a look at the biggest stories and highlights from the game you need to know about.
