RIFU, Miyagi Pref. — All-Star games are a collection of highlight-reel plays and fan-friendly events — lots of autographs, fans and players posing for pictures, light-hearted competition — and everyone's agenda is required to include one item: plenty of smiles.
The bj-league followed this script from start to finish on Sunday, and staged a super conclusion courtesy of a late, yet rare, 4-point play.
That sparked the Western Conference's late surge to a 105-102 win over the Eastern Conference in the 2009-10 bj-league All-Star Game at Sekisui Heim Super Arena before 6,091 vocal supporters.
