For The First Time in Forever The NBA All-Star Game Was on Fire

4th quarter chaos, diving on the ground for loose balls, block shots, goal-tending, and players actually wanting to win the game made this the best quarter of basketball I’ve watched all year.

All of this and more can directly be attributed to the brilliant rule changes that Adam Silver and the NBA implemented. The targeted scoring format for the 4th quarter resulted in actual defense being played and even Kyle Lowry stood in the key and took a charge in an actual All-Star Game. Mad respect Kyle!

Congrats to the NBA for going with the Elam ending and I can’t believe it, but I’m actually looking forward to next year’s game!
