Coaches: East: Chuck Daly, West: Pat Riley. This was the 6th consecutive year Pat Riley coached in the All-Star Game, as determined by being the coach of the team with the best conference record at a pre-determined date mid-season before the All-Star Game. In subsequent years, a coach was disqualified from coaching in the All-Star Game in consecutive seasons, a rule known as the "Pat Riley rule" for determining All-Star Game coaches. In the event the coach of the team with the best conference record at the pre-determined date had also coached in the All-Star Game the previous year, the coach leading the team with the next best record in the conference would coach the All-Star Game..
The game featured 11 out of 12 players that would go on to make the 1992 Dream Team as well as coach Chuck Daly.
Magic Johnson was the game MVP as well as leading scorer with 22 points. Akeem Olajuwon led the way with a game high 16 rebounds, and Isiah Thomas had the most assists on the night with 9.
This was the last NBA All-Star Game broadcast by CBS before moving to NBC 1991 [NBA All-Star Game|in the following year].
