Cavaliers' Mitchell, Mobley win NBA Skills Challenge

During the NBA All-Star Skills Challenge, Cleveland Cavaliers players Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley triumphed over the Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green and Moses Moody with a final round time of one minute. Their victory was marked by the disqualification of the San Antonio Spurs' duo, Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul, who were eliminated for not making legitimate shot attempts and instead focusing solely on time. The challenge involved a series of timed drills including passing and shooting, where the Cavaliers showcased skill and efficiency. Mobley, who previously won the event in 2022, expressed confidence in the team's performance this season, hinting at a strong finish for the Cavaliers. Despite the controversy surrounding the Spurs' tactics, other competitors acknowledged Wembanyama's unconventional strategy before the event. The All-Star Saturday had set the stage for further competitions, including the 3-point and Slam Dunk contests yet to come.
