“They enjoy being entertained”: Damian Lillard suggests fans loved high-scoring NBA All-Star game

Milwaukee Bucks veteran point guard Damian Lillard believes that the fans were thoroughly entertained during the NBA All-Star game.

The NBA All-Star weekend remains one of the most watched sporting events in the country. It took place on February 17th and 18th in Utah.

Lillard, who was part of the NBA All-Star East side, was quoted after the match where he stated that the fans would have enjoyed the fixture.

"I think people who are fans of the game, they love it," said the 33-year-old. "They enjoy being entertained. I think it could be more competitive. I think our game right now is a fast-paced game. We play a lot of games.

“The game also probably has more injuries than it's ever had. Trying to manage your body, to protect yourself and not get injured and take away from what you ultimately want to accomplish is something we prioritize."

On the night, the East went on to win the match against the West side with a score of 211 to 186. Lillard was the best performer on the night for the winning side as he registered 39 points to go with three rebounds and six assists.
