It is a "good assumption" the NBA will use a target score to end next season's All-Star Game after experimenting with the concept for the first time Sunday, Byron Spruell, the NBA's president of league operations, told ESPN on Wednesday in New York.
That is not set in stone yet, as league higher-ups have not fully debriefed since Sunday, Spruell said. But there is real momentum behind using the concept going forward at the All-Star Game.
Team LeBron [James] defeated Team Giannis [Antetokounmpo] 157-155 on an Anthony Davis free throw that took Team LeBron's score up to the designated target of 157.
