The NBA All-Star weekend looked nothing like it usually does on Sunday, as the league condensed the event into a single day at State Farm Arena in Atlanta due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Skills Challenge, though, was just as exciting - especially considering big men took the lead.
Sabonis wins Skills Challenge
Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis didn't miss a beat in his first two runs at the Skills Challenge on Sunday afternoon, and walked his way into the championship round after wins over Julius Randle and Luka Doncic.
Though Orlando Magic big man Nikola Vucevic put up a much bigger fight in the finals, Sabonis came out on top to win the first contest of the night.
While he got the first round bye, Doncic seemingly couldn't be bothered to take the contest seriously. Sabonis flew past Doncic - who didn't even take his warm ups off - with ease, and had drained his 3-pointer before Doncic had even made his layup on the other end.
Doncic, apparently, was just nervous.
Vucevic survived his second round match with Chris Paul - though he received a massive boost after Paul missed his first layup and 3-point attempt. He reached that round after a perfect outing over Robert Covington in the opening run.
Vucevic took the early lead in the championship run, edging Sabonis with his pass and layup. Vucevic, however, struggled at the 3-point line, which gave Sabonis a window to snag the win after his third attempt from behind the arc.
