The NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans has come and gone and our regularly scheduled games will begin again on Thursday, February 23rd. The weekend brought with it a mediocre dunk contest, an increasingly lackadaisical All-Star Game, a heartwarming tribute to Craig Sager and the Sager Foundation, and a blockbuster trade that has sent DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans.
All-Star Game
The West All-Stars beat the East All-Stars by a final score of 192-182, a defensive battle this was not. Anthony Davis was crowned the All-Star MVP and he finished with 52 points shooting 26-39 from the floor.
