Anfernee Simons won the dunk competition, beating Obi Toppin 3-2 in scoring by the judges after the final round. Simons' winning dunk wasn't flawless (he tried to kiss the rim but ended up too far away), but it was judged to be better than Toppin's between-the-legs, switching-hands jam from the middle of the lane.

Stephen Curry beat Mike Conley on the last shot of the event, sinking the 2-point money ball of the final rack for a 28-27 victory. Jayson Tatum of the Celtics finished third in the six-man competition. The Celtics' Jaylen Brown, the Bulls' Zach LaVine and the Jazz's Donovan Mitchell failed to advance to the final.
