Hahaha that's awesome. Kyle Lowry doing his best to be terrifying.

Winning streak snapped at 15.

Watched quite a bit of the game, just not their night, missing a lot of shots, the offense was not in sync.

Still, if they can go 15-1 again after the break that would be ok

Amazing win streak. Like KFF said, just not their night.

The last five or so games were a bit wobbly, even if some ended up as comfortable wins or amazing comebacks. I was reminded of the Peter Maher saying that streaks start to end a few games before they actually do.

I've been watching more NBA than usual lately - court surfing. There sure are a lot of empty seats in many arenas. This does not match the announced attendance. Are many tickets sold and not used?

Lower bowl seats in a lot of arenas are corporate season tickets. I think the NBA kinda suffers from its own star-power-driven model when it comes to attendance, because they spend so much time hyping the same players that it's difficult getting casual fans to get excited when, say, a good but non-hyped team like Denver or Utah or pre-championship Toronto comes to down. The era of super-teams has made it worse because those stars were really heavily consolidated around a small number of teams (although I think that's changing again with an influx of really exciting young players). They don't really do a good job of selling the in-arena experience the way I think the NHL does.

the all-star game got serious. They turned off the clock and the first to 157 wins. They are going hard. Someone might foul out.

Lowry’s profile in the States likely quadrupled after that performance, that was a blast to watch.

That was a fun fourth quarter. Guys actually trying on defense in an all star game. Crazy!

Helped wash out that atrocious anthem attempt by Chaka Khan. Gross.

Oh hell, I didn't realize they were using the Elam Ending yesterday! If I had known that, I definitely would have watched. One of the most innovative and best thought-out major rule-changes ever proposed for a major sport, IMO. Can't see it ever being used in regular games, but I think it's a brilliant idea, and glad to see it get such rave reviews in its first high-profile exposure.

I would make overtime the first to 10 as a test to see how it goes.

I think I miss this man more for things like this than on the court.

Raptors up by 31 points at half time, 63-32. Siakam definitely needed that all star break as his shooting from the 3 point line is already way better.
