The NBA has for years been seeking a fix for its broken All-Star Game. Through one iteration of the new USA vs. World format, it appears that it's found one.

Three teams — two U.S. and one world — competed in a round-robin tournament for bragging rights on NBC and Peacock.

Edwards led Team Stars to the win in a mostly exciting and revamped All-Star Game.

The 25 All-Stars have been divided into three teams (Team World has nine players). There will be two U.S. teams ( USA Stars and USA Stripes) and one World team. Detroit Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff will coach USA Stars, while San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson will lead USA Stripes. Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajaković will coach Team World.

The final horn may have sounded on a loss, but the bigger takeaway was that the All-Star Game finally sounded alive again.

Tyrese Maxey had a hilariously simple reason to explain why Team Stars ended up winning the All-Star tournament.

The round-robin format featured multiple buzzer beaters, a Kawhi Leonard scoring binge and a renewed effort by the players.
