Let's be honest — the game was dull for much of the time as the players abandoned defense and just tried to shoot 3-pointers or dunk the ball.
But in the end they found their competitive spirit, and gave the audience some extra time to enjoy.
Nishinomiya Storks big man Davante Gardner scored 50 points and cleaned the boards 12 times and Kosuke Takeuchi followed with 22 points in Team West's 152-145 double-overtime win over Team East in the NBL All-Star Game at Todoroki Arena on Sunday night.
