The NBA All-Star Game held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, saw the Eastern Conference Team triumph over the Western Conference Team with a score of 211-186, setting a new record for the highest points scored by a team in All-Star history.
Damian Lillard was named the All-Star Most Valuable Player after scoring 39 points, including 11 three-pointers. Additionally, Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Brown contributed double-digit points for the East.
On the West side, Sha Gilgeous-Alexander led the scoring with 31 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns made an impressive 50 points off the bench.
However, despite efforts from players like Kevin Durant and Towns, the game lacked its usual competitiveness, with the East dominating early on and securing a significant lead.
The absence of key veterans like LeBron James, limited due to injury, also affected the game’s rhythm, as younger players took center stage.
