WEST 136, EAST 132, at Staples Center
ATTENDANCE: 19,662
MVP: Shaquille O'Neal
When Shaquille O'Neal won his first All-Star Game MVP in 2000, he started the game and was a showcase player in the offense. In 2004, Shaq had to make his impact off the bench to take home the award ... which is exactly what he did.
O'Neal had 24 points (on 12-for-19 shooting), 11 rebounds, two steals and two blocks as the West won, 136-132. The win was the West's third in a row and was paced by balanced scoring as seven of the 12 players scored 12 points or more.
Tim Duncan was solid overall for the West (14 points, 13 rebounds, five assists) while first-time All-Stars Jamaal Magloire (19 points, eight rebounds) and Kenyon Martin (17 points, seven rebounds) did the heavy lifting for the East. Several players made their first (and only) All-Star appearances in this game: Sam Cassell, Ron Artest, Andrei Kirilenko, Michael Redd, Magloire and Martin.
