Comparison

|
All in all, it was a great game. The players came out to give the fans exactly what they wanted, a high scoring game with alot of fancy moves. The game had both of those. With a final score of 137-125 the west pulled out the win. Both teams played a great game and this was the cause for so many people to watch the game. The West's team had the height advantage down low. With the 7'1" O'neal, 7' Tim Duncan, and 6'9" Kevin Garnett gave them more rebounds over the smaller east team. This could have been the difference in the game.
