I remember watching it and 45 was BS ... totally robbed.  

That was an awesome All Star weekend if not the best one ... Bird with the three point contest and hand up before the ball went through the hoop 

THe game was good too and Nique had 29 points second only to MJ's 40.

Ya I remember it also and I hate it to this day. That’s some homecourt judge advantage. Historic one for sure. I loved those late 80’s and 90’s all star ️ games. Simpler time . 
 

ps @HawkItus I just saw oral and clicked in!
