The NBA Should Steal This Rule From the CEBL

The CEBL has a rule that can make overtimes in the NBA more exhilarating.

I’ve caught a few CEBL games this season and here’s a rule I think the NBA should steal from them.

But first, if you don’t know what the CEBL (Canadian Elite Basketball League) is, it is a professional Canadian basketball league and there have been some NBA players who competed in it, such as Cat Barber, Xavier Moon and Kadeem Allen.

Now that we got that out of the way, I think the NBA should steal how the CEBL uses the target score rule (or the Elam Ending) and implement it.

The NBA tried it in the 2020-to-2023 All Star games and in the G League in the 2022-23 season but have since stopped.

I’m not sure why, but I think they should bring the rule back.
