I wasn't really sure how the game will be with the new rules and I read it bunch of times but I still wasn't sure, after actually seeing the game and how it unraveled I can say that it was actually quite entertaining to watch. All-star games legit started to become more like where players actually rest and have fun and relax in the recent years, thankfully this time around it felt more realistic and more like a match up instead of just fun, there was a lot of hard fouls, taking charges, players actually trying to play.
Definitely, there was a lot of times when nobody defended bunch of alley oops as well, there were stretches of nobody defending but at the end of fourth quarter you saw how every player on the floor tried their best to win the game and get the charity of their team get that donation.

To everyone who said "dunking over tacko fall was entertainment" thats not what I meant, like I said before, if we talk about dunking, these were all amazing people, maybe not so much for howard but even he was great, everyone else was awesome and amazing. What I mean by "entertainment" is the things dunkers used to do to bring something extra. Dunking over tacko fall versus dunking over hood of a car is different, hood of the car is not 7'5 and its harder to dunk over tacko fall, yet when we talk about "dunking over a car versus dunking over a human" things change, nobody expects to see a car on the floor when you dunk, nobody expects a phone booth and a costume change, nobody expects kryptonite jokes, basically things that are totally unrelated to dunking but just makes things much more entertaining. So like I said before, I have nothing against the dunkers, they are probably one of the best group we have ever seen, but thats not the topic at all, thats not the "entertainment" I was talking about at all.
One of the best all star games I saw in my entire life, though Team Lebron is full packed with more better players in the League but Team Giannis came to play and they even lead the game, but in the end, we have guys who are more experience and knows how to take over the game, so it's a well deserved team Lebron win.
Indeed if you'll going to check the compositions of team Lebron it can be said that they've got the big edge, but Giannis company are well dedicated andalso wanted to prove themselves, that particular blocked from the two captains is very intense, personally that Jump Ball is the right call since we can't really say that it was clean block of a goaltending. All ends well and very entertaining, congrats to NBA management.
Team Giannis almost pull out that one if that last freethrow by AD didnt go in.I agree on what most people said on here that this all-star match is entertaining compared to previous
years.Congrats btw!

Team Giannis is a winner from 3 quarters and I bet they have a thought that they will win it. I did.
I think they only won the 2nd quarter, in the 3rd quarter, they are tied and in the 4th quarter it was Team Lebron who won because they rally from a big deficit. Here's the score per quarter : https://www.espn.com/nba/game?gameId=401197813
. What a great bounce for them! I didn't exepect that Team Lebron find a hard time to bring home the bacon thus props to the opposing team. Anyway, my favorite highlights of the game is when Trae Young pull of a half court shot (that was soo cool) and when Giannis blocked AD. In all fairness, I'm entertained in this year's All Star game, I really felt that everyone is taking the game seriously and not just play for the sake of exhibition

Is it just me or Goggle made a mistake?
I searched Goggle to see on which team won the All-Star game and it showed that "Team GIANNIS" won the game lol.

Lol, google might have put their bet on Team Giannis
.,., that's clearly a mistake, as for me, I don't need to google it as I saw the entire game. It may not be an error from what they bet for but the score.
Team Giannis is a winner from 3 quarters and I bet they have a thought that they will win it. I did.
It was a sad ending since I am rooting for Gannis but the rules gave a better hand.
Freethrows won the game and not by a real shot.
Updates is a need to be made.
but for actual fans that doesnt miss out these kind of games will surely spot it out or directly know.
Im even quite surprised on what i have seen.

What a great display of competitiveness. They are all going at each other at the fourth.
It became more like a "street ball".
That raise to 11 when they tied at 146 is the main game.
They need to avoid fouls to also avoid freebie shots.
But the final shot came from a foul. I hope they just put it as a sideline foul but it is the penalty and the rule must be followed.
Could have been better if it was done with a little shotclock remaining.
This is really fun. I bet they will repeat it after that nerve rocking game.

I'm not sure if this was discussed earlier ( i couldn't find a post about it) but this year's all-star game format is slightly changed:
Oh and no commercials throughout the 4th quarter which is pretty nice imo.
Each of the first three quarters will be, in essence, a 12-minute mini-game. The team that “wins” the quarter will receive a “winning” donation to charity. And the score at the start of the second and third quarters will be reset to 0-0.
But wait! The scores of the first three quarters for each team will be added up and posted to start the fourth. The cumulative score of the team that’s ahead, plus 24 points (Kobe’s uniform number), will be the final target score. The first team to reach that number will win the game, and there will be no clock.
Oh and no commercials throughout the 4th quarter which is pretty nice imo.
As an added bonus, the entire fourth quarter will be played commercial-free for the folks watching at home.
Somehow it gave a headache. But thank you for that.
Yeah, they reset the score at the 2nd and then the 3rd. A jumpball also for every reset.
Somehow I did understand it a little. Good thing they posted what the rule will be.
Team Lebron won the 1st at 53-41 then Team Giannis at 2nd 51-30 then equaled at 41 at the 3rd.
1st quarter is for Chicago scholars $100,000 Team Lebron.
They should repeat this, they really got serious in playing the game.
It's like every quarter is the 4th quarter.
Gobert making blocks? That is new.
I am impressed with the NBA mathematician, whoever that is.
Wait, Dame is a rapper?
Despite the injury he played on his own tune. 
~snip~
I agree mate, I think he got robbed (again?). I thought he got it when he jump over Tacko. No offense against Derrick Jones Jr, but I think Gordon should have won the NBA Slamdunk this year.
It's a bit controversial, in my opinion,
The competition between Gordon and Lavine on 2016 was a close one, and Lavine was really competitive all throughout the contest. So, imho Lavine deserves that win.
But, with this one yesterday, It was obviously a robbery after I tried to analyze the result. I don't find Jones' final dunk special, it wasn't fancy. Gordon's dunk was a 50. Now, DWade is harvesting all the hate from the fans after the result. Even the NBA players were surprised by the result.
This won't happen on local TV even in live coverage.
Then we should no watch it through our local TV, hehehe.. there's a lot of online live streaming for this game for sure, what we need is a stable internet connection and we are good to go. @Mirakal, good that you have an IPTV, according here, it will be televised in TNT.
I feel sad when we don't have live coverage on our local TV since it's so hassle to watch on Livestream since I can't watch it together with my friends since the screen is so small compare to our television but hopefully there are stations will offer free live coverage of the games in Philippines in future.

I think it was shared before here. But for a heads up, it's fine to bump it.
To summarize:
1Q total score + 2Q total score + 3Q total score
Highest score + 24
First, to reach it, will be the winner
In sports betting, the total points will be known right after the 3Q finished + 24.

Not really aware of the changes as I don't pay attention to it, but thanks for educating us before the game, I like the no advertisement part, getting ready for my IPTV as in our country, there are limited games for NBA, not sure this one is covered since I've been using IPTV for awhile.
