Cleveland Wins Skills Challenge; McClung's Dunk Triumph

During the NBA All-Star Saturday night Skills Challenge, San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul were disqualified for exploiting a loophole that allowed them to quickly complete the shooting phase by merely tossing balls toward the basket rather than attempting proper shots. This tactic was deemed against the spirit of the rules, leading to boos from the audience and disapproval from fellow competitors, including a thumbs-down from Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell. Despite their strategy achieving the fastest time in the first round, the NBA ruled their attempts invalid. The Skills Challenge was ultimately won by the Cleveland duo of Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell, who bested Golden State's Draymond Green and Moses Moody. Meanwhile, Mac McClung achieved a historic three-peat in the dunk contest with four perfect scores.
