This was the first All-Star Game where no members from Boston Celtics or New York Knicks had been selected as All-Stars.
In addition, this was the first All-Star game held in a football or baseball dome as opposed to a traditional basketball arena; the Detroit Pistons were playing at the Pontiac Silverdome at that time.
The Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars, 134–129. The MVP of the game was David Thompson, who scored 25 points. The game was officiated by John Vanak, Jack Madden, and Hugh Evans.
