NBA Rookies Game: East 96 - West 91
It was a game with high scores. There were 6 players with 16 or more points.
The first half was decisive for East, with a 15 points advantage (51-36). West commanded the second half (55-45), but it wasn't enough to win.
Allen Iverson (who had been number 1 in the draft) was named MVP, with 19 points and 9 assists. He was one of the keys in the East victory, but probably
Kobe Bryant (with 31 points and 8 assists for the West) was better.
In this game,
Red Auerbach came back to the All-Star Weekend after 30 editions coaching
the Eastern team. In the West team neither Stephon Marbury nor Samaki Walker
could play because of injuries.
