Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
KD looks like he's about to win his second All-Star game MVP.
Team LeBron 168, Team Giannis 158 (2:52, 4th Quarter)
LeBron's squad has caught fire, while Antetokounmpo's roster is suddenly ice cold from three-point range.
The favorites started slowly, but they're in position to win.

Damian Lillard is the only player in the league whose range rivals Stephen Curry's.
Team Giannis 120, Team LeBron 106 (5:27, 3rd Quarter)
Antetokounmpo is the first to 30 points and also has eight rebounds and four assists. He's the front-runner for MVP right now.
Howard Beck @HowardBeck
Loudest the arena has been all night: cheers for Allen Iverson.
Erik Horne @ErikHorneOK
Paul George has some work to do to win the All-Star MVP over Giannis, but he's up to 20 points and six 3-pointers.

Through the first 8+ minutes, the Bucks have more points (28) than Team LeBron (26).
Bucks Owning the All-Star Game
Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton have combined for 25 points and five assists in just about seven minutes of play.
Brew Hoop @brewhoop
Middleton hit a third three while dishing an alley oop to Giannis. Bucks are taking over this game
Team Giannis 23, Team LeBron 20 (6:30, 1st Quarter)
Antetokounmpo has a game-high 14 points, but Kevin Durant (10) is already in double figures, too.
Greek Freak Living at the Rim
Giannis has brought Dunk City to Charlotte.
Less than halfway through the opening quarter, he already has five.
Justin Ferguson @JFergusonAU
Giannis is on pace for 120 points, and I think he should go for it.
