The Cavaliers forward bagged 29 points, including 15 in the third quarter when the East outscored the West 41-27 to get back in the game.

Tracy McGrady, the Houston Rockets forward playing on his home court, led the West and all scorers with 36 points.
The East won for the second year in a row and leads the series 35-20.
