  • The East won their third consecutive game since the beginning of the East-West duel in 1996.
  • The West started the game pretty good (8-19), thanks to Bobby Jackson. At halftime, they were in front by four points only (38-42).
  • In the second half, Van Horn, Billups and Zydrunas Ilgauskas appeared, with the latter to become the first international player chosen as a MVP. The name of the Lithuanian Cavs center started to be recognized since that All-Star event.

  • MVP: Zydrunas Ilgauskas (Team EAST)
