Trae Young falls victim to halfcourt shot by Jayson Tatum in Skills Challenge final

After a stellar 25-point, ten-assist, seven-rebound performance in a win for Team USA in the Rising Stars game on Friday, Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young looked to build on what was an outstanding debut at All-Star Weekend in Saturday night’s NBA Skills Challenge.

Luka Doncic (DAL), De’Aaron Fox (SAC), Jayson Tatum (BOS), Mike Conley (MEM), Nikola Jokic (DEN), Nikola Vucevic (ORL) and Kyle Kuzma (LAL) participated in the competition as well.

Through a rather strange televised selection process involving Karl Anthony-Towns and Ludacris, it was determined that Young and Fox would face off in the first round.
