9:45 - Remember a few minutes ago when I said I'd really like to watch Amare and Dwight go at it? Well Amare just took Dwight to the hole and dunked just all over the man. I give it the "Dunk of the Night" Award. Do they still have any games against each other this season? I'm going to check the calendar.

8:45 - CP3 is making a late charge, as the West trails now by only 5 at 108-103. He's got 11 points and 10 assists. Perhaps this thing ain't over yet...

7:07 - Dirk hits a 3, then Paul steals and alleys it to Brandon Roy for the oop. Ladies and gents, this game is all tied up.

5:45 - It's definitely getting interesting now. Chris Paul is D-ing up LeBron pretty tightly, and LeBron airmails a three-pointer out of bounds. The West leads 114-112, and I see this being a James vs Paul duel the rest of the way out.

3:53 - Here's something you don't see every day. Dirk Nowitzki just airballed a three-pointer, but followed it up the next possession by driving to the hole and dunking.

3:23 - I know I'm harping on this match-up a little, but Amare Stoudemire is kind of owning Dwight Howard right now. He just hit an impressive And-1 after pinballing off Howard's chest.

1:50 - Ray Allen, your darkhorse MVP candidate. The intensity of this game has definitely heated up, and Ray Allen is carrying the load for the East right now. He's hit 3 threes in the period, including two straight to give the East a 125-122 lead. For the game, he's now got 23 points, second on the team to Bron's 25.

1:00 - LeBron steals the "Dunk of the Night" award, steaming down the lane through the entire Western Conference defense to absolutely bury a dunk - I think his head was at rim-level.

46.1: Man, the refs have cojones. They just called a charge on Chris Paul in his own building. In an All-Star game. With his team trailing by 2.

1.8 - Ray Allen hits a pair of FTs, and the East wins 134-128 in a very entertaining game. I'm heading down to the press room - I'll be back a little later on with a final wrap up.
