With 108,000 fans in attendance -- the most at any basketball game -- at Cowboys Stadium, the 2010 All-Star Game ended the weekend on a much higher note than it started. In what turned into a dunk-a-thon (they had to make up for the lackluster dunk contest a day earlier), the game went down to the wire as the West tied it in the final seconds.<br><br>But when the final buzzer sounded, the East picked up a 141-139 victory, and Dwyane Wade left Dallas with an MVP trophy in hand. Here are some of the best shots from the league's big game.<br><br>
