Remember that there’s a format change this year. Here’s the official explanation:
The 75th NBA All-Star Game will feature a round-robin mini-tournament with four 12-minute games. The matchups are as follows:
Game 1: World vs. USA Stars, (5 ET) Game 2: Winning team of Game 1 vs. USA Stripes (5:55 ET) Game 3: Losing team of Game 1 vs. USA Stripes (6:25 ET) Game 4: All-Star Championship (7:10 ET) (top two teams
from round-robin play) If all three teams finish 1-1 after the round-robin games, the first tiebreaker will be point differential across each team’s two games.
Our own Jaylen Brown will be participating on Team USA Stripes. Follow along and see how he and the rest of the All Stars do in the games.
What do you think of the new format? Who do you think will win MVP? Will the games be close? Will anyone make an effort on defense?
