All-stars Game: East Wins Over West - 134 to 128
Three Ray Allen's free shots in the last eight seconds of the game and a superior action of LeBron James, who had the possibility of the "triple-double", were the factors that carried the East Conference to win the NBA All-Stars game 134 to 128.
This was the third occasion in the last four All-Stars events in which the East representative team remains victorious in this half season NBA game since the 2005 games as well as in 2006.
Thanks to his great performance, the Cavaliers' player, LeBron James was chosen by the fans around the world, voting via Internet, as well as by the American press as the Most Valuable Player of the game. James finished the game with 27 points, trapped eight repercussions, had nine assistances, blocked two shots and stole two balls.
This is the second occasion in his career that James wins this merit, he previously won in the 2006 All-Stars game in Houston scoring 29 points in the East Conference victory 122-120.
The game developed smoothly but it was clear the superiority of the East Conference by taking the advantage since the start a partial of 6-0, thanks to annotations of Dwayne Wade, Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh. The game continued and the East managed to expand more their advantage in the scoreboard, which the host team failed to reach.
During the second half the West’s efforts turned out to be useless, as the visitors maintained the attacks on their opponents with the following score (64-75).
During the third quarter the presence of Chris Paul, who plays with the New Orleans team, helped the Western Conference to shorten the disadvantage with a partial 93-98. But in the closing the visitors pressed again and managed to open again the difference to a double-digit figure: 13 units (106-93).
Allen gave additional advantage to the East with a triple then James gave again the advantage to the East team after doing a great defensive move, intercepted a pair of Nowitzki and went to the rival hoops for, with an spectacular shot for his team quite close to the end of the game. Then again the East won over the West in a thrilling game.

MLB ALL-STAR GAME PREVIEW!
"It's a far superior league right now", is how Alex Rodriguez declared his honest opinion of the situation between the AL and NL in major league baseball.
The American League is 8-0-1 in the last nine All-Star games. AL teams also swept the past two World Series and won an overwhelming 61 percent of interleague games this season.
The NL fired off the first bullet last night when they completely overwhelmed their AL cohorts in the Home Run Derby. When the dust had settled, Phillies' Ryan Howard was the winner and Mets' David Wright a tired second.
The NL received some bad news late Monday when it was announced that Ozzie Guillen has scratched his undefeated pitcher Jose Contreras from the roster and replaced him with Minnesota Twins phenom Francisco Liriano.
The 22-year-old Liriano is blowing away American League batters in his first two months in a big-league rotation. He's 10-1, has allowed only 63 hits in 88 1/3 innings, and has 102 strikeouts against 23 walks. His 1.83 earned-run average leads the next best pitcher by over a full run.
Because the NL and AL have played several games against each other this year, many NL players have had the daunting task of facing the youngster from the Dominican Republic.
"Amazing", said wide-eyed Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano.
"Dominant", said breathless Milwaukee Brewers closer Derrick Turnbow.
"Silly", said awestruck Brewers pitcher Chris Capuano.
Not only does the AL come stacked with arms, but they also have the majors' best hitter in Liriano's teammate and catcher Joe Mauer who is batting .378 at the break.
The amazing part of this game is that you have several multi-millionaires like A. Rod, Jeter, Ichiro, Pujols, Beltran, Berkman, Rolen and Jones to name just a few. Then you have the low rent district in Ryan Howard, Freddy Sanchez, Brian Fuentes, Brian McCann, Alex Rios, Scott Kazmir and Jon Papelbom.
