The 2013 McDonald's All-American Girls Game is an All-star basketball game that was played on April 3, 2013, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, home of the Chicago Bulls. The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school girls graduating in 2013. The game is the 12th annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 2002.
2013 Game The West team started strong, opening up an eleven-point lead early at 17–6. The game was roughly even from then until halftime, when the West led by ten points. Neither team shot well, with the East hitting just over 30% of their shots, and the West hitting 36%. However, the better shooting percentage and a rebounding edge by the West team, coupled with 21 turnovers by the East team, resulted in a large margin of victory by the West team, with a final score of 92–64. The West's Mercedes Russell had a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, which helped her win the Award for Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
