Wikipedia / 1982 NBA All-Star Game

The 1982 NBA All-Star Game was an exhibition basketball game that was played on January 31, 1982, at Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, home of the New Jersey Nets. This was the 32nd edition of the National Basketball Association All-Star Game and was played during the 1981–82 NBA season. This was the first and, to date, only All-Star Game to be held in New Jersey, as well as the only full All-Star Game the Nets have ever hosted, as the team would later relocate to Brooklyn, New York City, in 2012 and hosted only the 2015 NBA All-Star Friday and Saturday events there.

The head coaches were Bill Fitch of the Boston Celtics for the East and Pat Riley of the Los Angeles Lakers for the West, as both the Celtics and Lakers led their respective conferences at the end of January. The East won the game, 120–118. Larry Bird was named the game's MVP for his 4th quarter heroics during crunch time.
