Bronny James was 5-for-8 from three for 15 points for the West. Auburn signee Aden Holloway added 15 for the East.

The only other player in double figures on the positive side was Oklahoma State signee Brandon Garrison with a +12

11:15 p.m. ET – “Final – East 109, West 106”

11:13 p.m. ET – “In appropriate fashion, Kentucky signee DJ Wagner steps up to the free-throw line and knocks down the final two free throws to clinch the game for the East. Wagner played a huge role in getting his team back in the game and came back from that air ball with under two minutes to close it out. Ultimate competitor.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

11:07 p.m. ET – “Justin Edwards has had some beautiful pitch ahead passes in this game, getting his team out in transition.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

10:59 p.m. ET – “Aaron Bradshaw has done a great job drawing fouls, and he has done it at each level. A unique offensive blend, the 7-footer showcased his face-up game the week and is thriving with the dirty work in this game.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

10:51 p.m. ET – “Bronny James nails his fourth three-pointer of the night. He has continued his hot shooting from the week into tonight.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

10:49 p.m. ET – “Ron Holland has been able to turn defense into offense so quickly in this game. Such an aggressive defender, able to shuffle his feet but also use his length in the passing lanes. The Texas signee is long-strider as he attacks in transition.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

10:43 p.m. ET – “End of 3rd – West 85, East 78”

10:30 p.m. ET – “Ja’Kobe Walter going about his business, quietly and effectively. The Baylor signee is a smooth jump shooter with little wasted movement in his load and release. Great positional size, and he picks his spots and plays within himself.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

10:27 p.m. ET – “Reed Sheppard, a Kentucky signee, showcasing why he is such a highly valued connective piece. A guy who fills in the blanks and makes everything around him run smoother. Jumped the passing lanes in back-to-back possessions, finished one with a dunk and one with an assist.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

10:19 p.m. ET – “Justin Edwards done a good job of finding his spots here early in the second half. He is a high-level off-ball defender and able to turn defense into offense. The Kentucky signee had a nice play here when he shot the passing lane, took the ball full court, and finished with a smooth euro-step lefty finish.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

10:10 p.m. ET – “USC signee Isaiah Collier (Wheeler/GA) leads all scorers at halftime with 13; he’s also drawn five fouls. Auburn signee Aden Holloway (Prolific Prep/CA) leads the East team with 12 points. Bronny James (Sierra Canyon/CA) has 9 points on 3-fot-4 from three, and Kentucky signee Justin Edwards is 4-for-7 from the field for 9 points.”

10:01 p.m. ET – “Halftime – West 60, East 51”

9:53 p.m. ET – “Isaiah Collier is so aggressive, almost a bully at the point of attack on both ends of the floor.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

9:49 p.m. ET – “Kwame Evans grabs a rebound, pushes the break, beats the defense down the floor, and finishes right hand through the contact. At his size, with his length, that is the intrigue in his game.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

9:43 p.m. ET – “Texas signee Ron Holland has the ability to affect the game on both ends of the floor in a major way. And when a game gets going up and down, playing fast, Holland will shine brighter than most.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

9:36 p.m. ET – “Omaha Biliew was the best defender throughout the week; however, something else he showed was newfound confidence in his jumper. He made multiple threes throughout the week. The Iowa State signee has already drilled his first three attempt of the game. Unlocking a new piece to his game.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

9:36 p.m. ET – “End of 1st Q – West 34, East 26”

9:29 p.m. ET – “Aden Holloway is such a crafty one-on-one player. He has all the moves, with excellent balance and great footwork. Also has deeeeeep range on the jumper, and the threat of that jumper is something that helps him create space.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

9:18 p.m. ET – “Bronny James enters the game at the 5:37 mark and knocks down his first shot attempt, a three-pointer. Stepped into that one confidently, something he has done all week.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

9:17 p.m. ET – “Southern California signee Isaiah Collier has been in attack mode all week, and that has not stopped in this game. He is playing with full confidence, touching the paint often, and putting pressure on the front of the rim.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

9:15 p.m. ET – “Duke signee Jared McCain has started the game aggressively. A noted competitor, he started off the scoring with a three-pointer and finished a nice up and under off a paint touch, showing good balance and touch. Strong, compact frame.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

9:00 p.m. ET – “East starters: SF Justin Edwards (Kentucky), CG DJ Wagner (Kentucky), PG Elmarko Jackson, SF Cody Williams (Colorado), C Xavier Booker (Michigan State)

8:59 p.m. ET – “West starters: SF Ron Holland (Texas), CG Jared McCain (Duke), PG Isaiah Collier (Southern California), SG Andrej Stojackovic (Stanford), C Brandon Garrison (Oklahoma State)

8:42 p.m. ET – “LeBron James is courtside. James is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and MVP of the 2003 McDonald’s All-American game. He is also the father of 2023 On3 150 No. 9 Bronny James, who will be wearing No. 6 for the West Team tonight.” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

8:28 p.m. ET – “The girl’s game is winding down with the West maintaining a lead of around ten points. We got to see a Duke sweep last night as Sean Stewart won the dunk contest and Jared McCain took the three-point contest. The last few days have been very competitive, both in the practices and scrimmages. Will the players maintain that intensity?” – Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst
