ABA All-Star Game?

[slapshot]

Has anyone heard of any results from the ABA's all-star weekend? Absolutely nothing on the league's site - strange given how much they were hyping it - - unless it turned out to be a complete bust.

The East started very fast and build a big lead but the West came back to make a real game of it, falling by 2 after missing the last two shots of the game. Reports are attendance was about 1,000. The game was televised live on the internet and audio was avaialble live through the league web site.

I watched a lot of the first half - I apparently have too much time on my hands. Some thoughts:

The 1000 estimate appears to be a little high - which, considering the number of free people in the stands (ABA/team officials, families of players), makes you wonder how many tickets they actually sold

The shooting was atrocious - especially on the West side

Defense was an afterthought (as it is in most all-star games)

Somehow, there were Pittsburgh players on both teams

A few of the cameramen seemed to have a nervous tic - not so good when filming an event for an auidience

I too thought it was ridiculous that there was no box score. They should come out with it, right? I know that the video was available, but that was only during the game. Is there any saved footage you can view currently?
