  • An exciting last quarter led by Allen Iverson, a battle between Kobe Bryant and Stephon Marbury in the last minute, and Kobe in the last play passing the ball to Tim Duncan, when everybody was expecting a shot.
  • The East team celebrated the victory like a Finals Game.
  • The East team demonstrated to the world that the difference in quality between conferences is smaller than most of the people thought.

  • In the second quarter Vince Carter made a 360 (this dunk was better than the others made in the Slam Dunk contest the day before) and Ray Allen scored easily.
  • The first half finished 61-50 with a huge 3 pointer by Jason Kidd.
  • Dikembe Mutombo with 22 rebounds was one of the key factors in the East win.
