Based on pay per head for bookies reports, fans didn’t expect the big men to win the Skill Challenge. However, it is the trend in the past couple of years. In the finals, Bam Adebayo went up against Domantas Sabonis, with the former winning the event.
The three-points contest had an exciting finish. According to bookie pay per head reviews, the title was contested by Devin Booker, Buddy Hield, and Davis Bertans. First up was Bertans, who had a forgettable performance. Then Booker scored 26 points and thought he already won the contest. However, Hield showed what he could do even though he had a slow start. He got hot in the end and finished with 27 points to win the crown.
Then came Saturday’s highlight, the Slam Dunk Contest. Although Pat Connaughton and Dwight Howard had their moments, fans knew it was a battle between Derrick Jones Jr. and Aaron Gordon. It was a close match that required a tiebreaker until the end. Although Gordon had 297 out of 300 points, he lost to Jones Jr.
