The 1954 NBA All Star Game was held on January 21, 1954 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics was the game MVP. Joe Lapchick of the New York Knicks coached the Eastern All Stars and John Kundla of the Minneapolis Lakers coached the West. The attendance was 16,487.
The East held an 84-82 edge with only seconds remaining in the game. Then George Mikan of the Lakers was fouled. He sank both free throws, sending the game into overtime.
In the extra period Cousy went on a scored 10 points to secure a 98-93 victory. The West's Jim Pollard, the game's high scorer with 23 points, had been named MVP in a vote taken before regulation time had run out. But another ballot was taken and Cousy became the MVP.
The 1954 All-Star Game was the last All-Star Game in which neither side reached 100 points. [1]
