The 1973 NBA All-Star Game was played at Chicago Stadium in Chicago, home of the Chicago Bulls, on January 23, 1973. The East All-Stars defeated the West All-Stars 104–84, with Dave Cowens of the Boston Celtics winning the Most Valuable Player award. Cowens scored 15 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, and dished 1 assist. This was the last All-Star Game in which a team scored fewer than 100 points.
The coach for the Western Conference team was Los Angeles Lakers head coach Bill Sharman. The coach for the Eastern Conference team was Boston Celtics head coach Tom Heinsohn. This marks the second straight year that Sharman and Heinsohn have coached at the All-Star Game, as both the Celtics and Lakers had the best record in their respective conferences entering the game.
