The 2020 NBA All-Star game had an exciting finish! That’s probably the first time we can say that in good faith since Michael Jordan played.
The league can thank a format change for the exhilarating finale. The target score or Elam Ending worked wonders and had players battling for rebounds, arguing fouls, and playing actual defense in an exhibition contest.
After almost two days of pondering I’ve come to the conclusion that the league should adopt this format change for ALL games. Yes, I want a target score finish for the regular season and playoffs.
