The NBA’s new 4th quarter “target score” was a bit among NBA fans until the game was forced to end on a free throw.
With the target score at 157, Team LeBron’s Anthony Davis went to the line with the team up a point and one point from the target score. AD went on to miss the first free throw but ended the game after he made the second.
AD. CLUTCH. 💪 #NBAAllStar pic.twitter.com/xXfeU0TdkL

As great as the final quarter was fans were upset at how the game ended.
Not sure how to do it, but that shit can't end on a free throw, because everything else in that quarter was amazing/hilarious. #NBAAllStarGame

Great All-Star game but I’m gonna be that person that complains this incredible game ends on a free throw.
