On February 19, Beijing time, the 2024 NBA Indianapolis All-Star Weekend kicked off, and the Eastern All-Stars defeated the Western All-Stars 211-186. It was the first All-Star win since 2014. Lillard was the big winner, having just defended his three-point contest title the day before and then winning the All-Star Game MVP.
The two teams combined for 397 points, breaking the previous All-Star Game scoring record of 374 points. The Eastern All-Star blasted 211 points and made 42 three-pointers, all setting a new All-Star record.
At the beginning of the game, the defensive intensity of both sides was not great, and the Eastern All-Star outside felt hot, hitting 13 three-pointers in a single quarter. Among them, Haliburton alone hit 5. The All-Stars in the West had only five hits and lost to the East by six points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the offense of the Western All-Stars declined, but the Eastern All-Stars were still on fire, especially Lillard, who was in a hot state and had reached a 15-point margin at halftime.
Coming back in the second half, James "clocked out" and Curry took the starting position. However, the momentum on the court is still on the side of the Eastern All-Stars, who have scored more than 50 points in three consecutive quarters, and the margin has also exceeded 20 points.
