You probably had a grand time when you made a bet online about the possible result of the All-Star Game.
It’s not a game that will totally satisfy a man’s deep desire for thrilling sports betting opportunities as the All-Stars prefer to mingle with each other during the game. However, the fact that this select crop of players is playing together make this game a one-of-a-kind opportunity for NBA’s online betting circles.
East All-Stars 182-192 West All-Stars
The West All-Stars continue their domination of the yearly affair as they trump the East in a shootout that was an upgrade of what happened in Toronto last year. The 2017 match was the highest-scoring All-Star game ever since the match was introduced.
Anthony Davis stepped up to the delight of the New Orleans crowd as he ended the game with 52 points, breaking the All-Star scoring record. His West team-mates were more than happy to help him thrill his home crowd, dishing him assists whenever they can.
“The guys did a great job of just finding me, giving me the basketball,” Davis said. “They wanted me to score 50.”
LeBron James took a break from leading the East and allowed Giannis Antetokounmpo—his protégé—to make the big plays. The Greek Freak ended the game with 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals in only 22 minutes of play. The King scored 23 and settled for a fun night.
There are two interesting items that happened to the West All-Star team that are worth talking about. First is DeMarcus Cousins’ minimal playing time: the newly acquired Pelican only played two minutes of All-Star basketball. We can only muse if the decision to sit him out of the game was part of the deal.
The second topic of interest is the interaction between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant: the two had a horrible split and played some intense, physical basketball when the Thunder met the Warriors. However, the give-and-take alley-oop pass from Durant to Westbrook had the Smoothie King Center cheering.
The pass looked natural. It was like everything was normal again. The two looked like team-mates again.
It reminded everyone what the All-Star break is—a fun respite before the fast-paced frenzy to the playoffs begins.
