NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has wanted a more competitive All-Star event for some time, and this change comes after the teams combined to score a record 397 points — 211-186 was the final — in last season’s game at Indianapolis.

After a miserable third quarter, Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks fell to Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers 137-115, making it seven consecutive losses for Atlanta. Young finished the night with 15 points and 10 assists,
