Allen Iverson collected 15 points, 10 assists and five steals to spark the Eastern Conference to a 125-115 win over the Western Conference in the 54th All-Star Game in Denver, Colorado, on Sunday.

Six other East players were in double figures in a wide-open contest that featured plenty of scoring and little defence.

The East ended a three-game winning streak for the West, which had won four of the five previous All-Star games. The East leads the all-time series 34-20.

Iverson was selected the most valuable player, just as he was the last time the East won four years ago.

"It feels great," the Philadelphia 76ers guard said in a courtside interview. "I was kind of tired out here in the thin air.

"I just thank God and my team-mates because without them I wouldn't be here."
