2005 NBA All-Star Game
Shawn Marion (East) scored the first point of the game at the free throw line, fouled by Kobe. Shaquille o'Neal scored the East's first basket, and Brad Miller hit the first shot for the West.
Shaquille O'Neal of the East and Baron Davis of the West were the key players of the half.
The East went to Shaq early and it paid off, giving them the first half lead. He had 27 points, 4 rebounds, and a steal in the first half. Baron Davis had 11 points, a rebound, 2 steals, and dished 4 assists.
