Deron Williams Shows Flash, Inexperience in All-Star Debut

Filed under: Jazz, NBA All-Star Game

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams came home to make his first All-Star appearance, and it showed in more ways than one.



He was thrilled to be in the game, not far from where he spent his high school days, sparking the Western Conference in the first half with an energetic, crowd-pleasing style of play.



He was hitting shots, making steals, passing behind the back with precise, no-look gems that got both the crowd and teammate Kevin Durant more involved.



Then he got burned by his inexperience at the end.



"I was have a lot of fun out there, really going after it,'' Williams said. "Some of these guys had been in this game five or six times, so they may approach it differently. I was in my first, playing hard, being home in front of my family and friends.''
