Western Conference 133
Eastern Conference 138
At the 1988 All-Star Game, two legends of the game left a lasting mark. In the East`s 138-133 win, Michael Jordan garnered MVP honors after totaling 40 points, eight rebounds, four steals and four blocks while showing off his trademark late-game clutch scoring.
Jordan scored 16 of his points in the final 5:30 of the game as the East pulled away from the West. His 40 points were two points shy of the All-Star Game`s single-game scoring mark of 42 held by Wilt Chamberlain.
Though Jordan`s performance was near-historic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar`s play was one for the record books. Abdul-Jabbar scored 10 points in 14 minutes to give him 247 career All-Star Game points and the title as the game`s No. 1 all-time scorer.
Knicks big man Patrick Ewing made his All-Star debut in this game for the East, scoring nine points off the bench in 16 minutes. While Ewing made his debut, Sixers guard Maurice Cheeks played in his fourth and final All-Star Game, serving as a reserve for the East.
Jordan started off his MVP weekend with a bang, taking home a second straight Dunk Contest title in a memorable showdown with Dominique Wilkins in the finals.
Dick Stockton and Billy Cunningham on the call. |
