NBA All-Star Saturday features three skills events showcasing the league’s top players: the Three-Point Contest, Shooting Stars and Slam Dunk Contest. The Three-Point Contest led things off with Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard winning the event while rehabbing his Achilles injury this season. The Shooting Stars competition followed with Team Knicks, consisting of Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Allan Houston, winning the event. Finally, the Slam Dunk Contest saw four stellar dunks from Heat forward Keshad Johnson. Sports Illustrated recapped all three events at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
