Kevin Durant, JaVale McGee and James Harden all scored a ton of points, with McGee being named Player of the Game.

For the PBA All Stars, Arwind Santos and Solomon Mercado distinguished themselves well with the others doing a capable job against a mighty opponent.

All in all, it was exciting and thrilling and it was definitely a dream come true.

NBA Vs. PBA Game Fourth Quarter Update: NBA 121, PBA 88!

The NBA All Stars have started a dunking contest within the game. And the PBA All Stars are eagerly watching them.

The players have basically dropped all pretense of a competitive game as cheers meet every NBA All Star dunk. The PBA All Stars try to mimic their NBA counterparts with appreciative sheers meeting their efforts too.

Well, the lead may have ballooned to 29 points but it's still a fun game. The NBA All Stars are still dunking, with Derrick Williams, Tyreke Evans and JaVale McGee still at it.

The PBA All Stars on the other hand, are just trying to get whatever they can. They haven't been able to hit outside shots but they have been able to penetrate the Smart All Stars' porous defense. And with Arwind Santos on the bench, points have been hard to find.

And Kobe, CP3 and DRose finally showed up.

And when they did, they led the NBA All Stars in a blistering run. The run featured 3 alternating threes from Chris Paul, Derrick Rose then Chris Paul again, plus 3 Kobe Bryant alleyoops and a fantastic alleyoop from Kobe Bryant to Derrick Rose.

The PBA All Stars are starting to become spectators except for Arwind Santos who hit 3 straight jumpers plus a beautiful reverse lay up on JaVale McGee.

NBA Vs. PBA Game Halftime Update: NBA 66, PBA 50!

The NBA All Stars are slowly but surely pulling away but the PBA All Stars have had their moments.

The NBA All Stars are led by Kevin Durant's 20 points and JaVale McGee's thundering dunks. James Harden, Derrick Williams and Tyreke Evans have all acquitted themselves well  while Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Derrick Rose have yet to make an impact.

The PBA All Stars have several players contributing but Solomon Mercado has been showing off his playground skills, taking Derek Fisher off the dribble 3 times and scoring lay ups. Arwind Santos has been active offensively and Alex Cabagnot has held his own but the height difference in the frontcourt is just too much.

NBA Vs. PBA Game Second Quarter Update: NBA 52, PBA 42!

Smart All Stars starting to pull away courtesy of 2 Kevin Durant threepointers. One came on a sweet shake and bake step back move on Rabeh Al-Hussaini, the other, a stop and pop on a fastbreak.

Al-Hussaini got some swag back when he answered with an alleyoop but the inevitable is starting to happen. 

Oh yeah, Kevin Durant already has 20points!

NBA Vs. PBA Game First Quarter Update: NBA 29, PBA 24!

It's been an exciting game so far, with the NBA All Stars showing Filipino fans why they are NBA All Stars. Durant has been hitting from way beyond, Chris Paul and Derrick Rose are distributing the ball, JaVale McGee and Derrick Williams are slamming it home. Kobe Bryant has not made his presence felt yet but it's early yet.

On the PBA side, the PBA All Stars have been very unselfish, giving everyone a chance to shine and unexpectedly staying close to the NBA All Stars.

For how long? I'm guessing another 5 minutes or so.

Still, it's been thrilling and I just can't get enough!

NBA Vs. PBA Game Update: NBA 27, PBA 20!

The Smart All Stars have started connecting from outside, courtesy of Kevin Durant and have put together three straight alleyoops.

The PBA All Stars are fighting back, with nearly everyone on the floor contributing.
