2017 Game

The East won the game in overtime, 80-74. They had to overcome a 13-point deficit in the game to force the game into overtime after tying the score at 69 in regulation. Rellah Boothe - the Game MVP - hit huge consecutive 3-pointers to push the East. Boothe had 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks.

The West jumped out early due to some heady guard play from Alexis Morris and then tried to keep the lead and make a comeback in overtime with the post play of Loretta Kakala. Kakala finished with 11 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals.[1]
