The Eastern Conference Futures defeated the Western Conference Prospects 129-94 on Sunday afternoon at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The game featured 20 of the NBA D-League’s top prospects competing on basketball’s biggest stage.

The Futures’ attack saw Chris Babb of Maine, Erie’s Seth Curry, Willie Reed of Grand Rapids and Iowa’s Damien Wilkins finish with 13 points apiece, while Maine’s Tim Frazier dished out a game-high 10 assists.
Almost all of the Futures team scored in double figures. That included Sioux Falls Skyforce Center Khem Birch who shot 4 of 5 from the floor and hit both his free throws for 10 points with 4 rebounds.
The Futures led at the half 55-52. Soon after the teams emerged from the locker rooms, the Eastern squad put together a 39-10 run. Eventually the span stretched to 37 points, the largest margin in NBA D-League All-Star Game history.
