All-Star Game

[edit]

The 2019 CIBACOPA All-Star Game was played in Guadalajara, Jalisco, at the Domo del Code on May 11, 2019. The game was played between Zona Norte (teams from Baja California, Sonora, and northern Sinaloa) and Zona Sur (teams from Baja California Sur, Jalisco and southern Sinaloa).[11] Zona Norte won the game after three quarters 106–88, but a new format was established this year to reset the score for a fourth-quarter period that included a cash bonus for the winning team. Zona Sur won this final period 29–21. Hameed Ali and Tyrone White led all scorers with 26 points each, but Jordan Williams was named All-Star Game MVP with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.[12]

Cezar Guerrero won the three-point shootout while Jordan Williams won the dunk contest.[12]
