Okay, you have to admit that this turned out pretty good in the fourth lol
For as unwatchable as the first three quarters were, this one has been good.

oh yeah!  The first team to 157 is an interesting twist.  Both teams going hard.
Best 4th quarter of an all star game since who knows when.

I just wish Kemba didn't have a terrible 4th - especially after how well he performed earlier in the game. I know Tatum is on Team Lebron, but man, I hate Lebron winning anything.

Either way, great 4th quarter!

Yeah I was all in on Team Giannis, but they just couldn't do anything on offense down the stretch.

good to see the guys fighting hard for their charities.

That 4th was exciting like I predicted.

Looks like the change was successful, they were trying for the last half of the 3rd and the 4th.

Team Giannis should have subbed out either Lowry or Kemba for Butler for defensive purposes.

Team Giannis was absolutely got outcoached.

Team Lebron were running screen plays while team Giannis were full of isos. Aside from that Giannis didnt even touch the ball! Also shouldve subbed in guys like Butler in so they could defend switches properly.

Challenges, flops, charges, jump balls, whining. Yep pretty much spot on.

Outstanding

I'm sure they will keep the format moving forward

Just dont have everyone wear the same number

I loved Lowry testing charge taking waters.  They had to call the second one.

I'd be curious what the time of play ended up being for 4th.  It had to have been more than 12 minutes.
Yup

Yeah, if they can make the first 3 quarters a bit better I'd be even happier.

Yeah Giannis should have gotten the ball a lot of those times that they gave it to Siamkam in the post.
