The 2011 WNBA All-Star Game was played on July 23, 2011 (3:30pm EDT on ABC ) at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas , home of the San Antonio Silver Stars . The game was the 10th WNBA All-Star Game , which has been held annually since 1999 except in 2004 , 2008 , and 2010 . This was the first time San Antonio hosted the basketball showcase, and only the second time in league history for the game to be held by a Western Conference franchise.
In a game that saw neither team lead by more than 5 points, the Eastern Conference won 118–113 for only their third victory in 10 tries. Swin Cash of the Seattle Storm , who had 21 points and 12 rebounds in a losing effort, was named game MVP for the second time; only Lisa Leslie had previously earned multiple All-Star Game MVP awards.[2]
The game also saw a record of 10 players (11 counting the injured Candace Parker ) make their debuts on a WNBA All-Star team[2] —however, five of these players had appeared in the Stars at the Sun game in 2010, which is not considered an All-Star Game.
