Mark Mentors Azuoma Dike who in previous seasons stared for the Atlantic conference team added 9 points from the bench with a perfect 3/3 from behind the arc. Team mates, Stanley Gumut scored 11 points with Center, Victor ‘Koko’Anthony dominant on the boards adding 10 rebounds along with 12 points and 3 blocks to complete the blowout win for the boys from the North.


2014 DStv Allstar game most valuable player Abubakar Usman retained his MVP trophy going home with a DStv Explora decoder for his exploits, while magical Lagos Islander’s forward William Ndoumbe who put up a show in the Slam Dunk Contest took the Slam Dunk King’s crown with style.
