(CNN) The NBA will honor the life of Kobe Bryant by changing the format of its All-Star Game in Chicago.

Each quarter will be treated as a mini game, lasting minutes, to give each team a chance to win money for local charities. At the end of the third quarter, each team’s points will be added up for an overall score.

    At the start of the fourth quarter, a “target score” will be determined by adding , the number Bryant wore for the second half of his NBA career, to the lead team’s overall score.

    For example, if Team A has 169 points and Team B has 100 at the end of the third quarter, the target number will be 221. The game will then go to sudden death, meaning whichever team hits the target number first wins.
