TORONTO (AP) — Kobe Bryant exited the All-Star Game for the final time to watch Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry wrap things up with 3-pointers.
Bryant’s gone, and these young guys are good.
Bryant said his All-Star Game goodbye and the next generation of the West’s best sent him off a winner, rolling to a record-setting 196-173 victory over the East on Sunday night.
“It was fun,” Bryant said. “I had a blast playing with those guys, laughing and joking with them on the bench.”
The first All-Star Game outside the U.S. was the highest-scoring ever.
