The All Star Game started with a crazy dance by the South All-Stars. The addition of the three point dunk added to the output of the highest scoring (half-time) in PBA all-star history. The South led by as much as 20 points in the game only to be defeated by the North All-Stars, the trend wherein the host always win has not yet been broken.
