The Eastern Conference defeated the West 211-186 and won the NBA All Star Game that took place in the city of Indianapolis, for first time since 1985. LeBron James reached the participation record and Damian Lillard was chosen MVP as a result of his 39 points and 11 three-pointers scored.
The facilities provided when attacking and practically zero defensive attention unleashed criticism and requests to modify the event. This All-Star Game marked the return of the East versus West duel, a decision by the NBA to try to regain competitive ground.
