Live from the N.O.L.A, the 2014 edition of the NBA All-Star game has arrived! Last night we witnessed a snore in All-Star Saturday night highlighted by the 1.5 dunks from John Wall. Adam Silver completely switched the festivities for the worse, which was shown last night.
Special shout out to TNT’s Ernie Johnson having the best performance of the night in his gauntlet challenge in the pre-game. With LeBron James starting at center with Carmelo Anthony playing his cohort at the front court, there’s a lot of fast action we can expect tonight from the eastern conference. With the west having a more balanced roster, they could use their size down the stretch to dominate their competition.
Check after the jump for our coverage for the game tonight.
UPDATE: East rallies to win 163-155 in big 4th quarter comeback.
