In the All-Star Game, participants attempt to get as many points as possible during the first three 12-minute quarters. The fourth quarter is untimed. If one team meets or exceeds the target score (the score of the leading team in total scoring after three quarters plus 22 for representing the number of counties in Taiwan), this team will declare as the winner. There are no personal fouls limit. One team will receive the bonus free throw when the opposing team has accumulated five team fouls in a quarter. Each team can select up to two import players on the court in 1st and 4th quarter, and no import players limit in 2nd and 3rd quarter.^[7][8]

The target score in this game was 178, since Team Infinity was leading 156–99 at the end of the third quarter. Team Infinity defeated Team Beyond 179–124. Dwight Howard, who scored 37 points, was named the All-Star Game MVP.^[2]
