• Though he was dunked on, Millsap made the block of the game by stuffing a Jarron Collins layup attempt. Millsap also scored a dozen points, including a fading mid-range shot over Boozer.

• Others in double digits included Andrei Kirilenko (11) and Ronnie Price (11) for the Blue team; Kyle Korver (16) on 7-for-8 shooting and Boozer (14) for the White.

• Collins smiled widely when telling the crowd that his wife delivered a baby girl two weeks ago. "Of course, I'm biased, but she's so beautiful."

• Kirilenko talked briefly about his Olympic experience with Team Russia and added that he's "very happy" that Williams and Boozer won gold medals. He made the crowd laugh by admitting to being "a little bit jealous about that."

• Brevin Knight, the NBA veteran who was traded to Utah from the Los Angeles Clippers for Jason Hart this summer, told fans he is looking forward to a different reaction when playing in Utah. "Hopefully," he said, "I'll get some more cheers than boos."

• Williams got the biggest ovation — some even stood up — during introductions. When asked by emcee David Locke about his recent weight loss, Williams joked that he had to shed some pounds to be able to keep up with Knight.
