In the final round of the crowd-pleasing event on All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, Robinson faced off against the Phoenix rookie, who advanced from the four original competitors. After Jones scored a 50 on his final dunk, giving him a two-dunk total of 87, Robinson needed only 44 points on his second dunk of the finals to win the title. In front of George were the Pacers mascot and a member of the Pacers dance squad. Gordon nailed several important jumpers, including a final shot in the second round to send the contest into overtime. New York Knicks 7-foot-3 center Kristaps Porzingis won the Skills Challenge by defeating Utah Jazz 6-foot-8 forward Gordon Hayward in the final.
