So what happened in those 2017 games using the Elam Ending? I'm on pins and needles

I love it. It would be much more exciting.

The Elam Ending was used in the NBA All Star game this year.

Didn't work so well this year because the game was too lopsided (~20pt deficit entering the 4th), but I read that it was quite well received last year (~10pt deficit entering the 4th)

But I liked the way the traditional ending worked out for us in the Stanford-Rhode Island MBB NCAA regional final in 1998

I would add to the rule that the game would be over at the end of the timed portion if one team had a big lead, say 15 points or more. This rule would eliminate overtime entirely.
