Interesting enough that both team captains waited till last to chose the two All-Stars from the best team in the NBA in the Jazz, something the TNT crew noted:
The game itself will be played like last year with a target score close to the end of the game to make it more competitive. We got a good game last year but it will be interesting to see how this year turns out with COVID affecting teams and the All-Star schedule jumbled in one day.
