Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant fired in a game-high 30 points on 13-of-24 shooting while grabbing six rebounds.
Houston's James Harden added 15 points, Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City chipped in with 14 and Tony Parker of San Antonio supplied 13 for the West.
The New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony led the Eastern all-stars with 26 points and 12 rebounds.
Miami's Dwyane Wade supplied 21 with seven assists while Heat teammate LeBron James added 19 points in the loss.
