Team Cavs wins Skills Challenge: Live updates from 3-Point and Slam Dunk competitions

The 2022 NBA All-Star weekend in Cleveland is in full swing. The All-Stars practiced early Saturday.

Saturday night features some of the weekend's best events, including the Skills Challenge, the 3-point Contest and the Slam Dunk contest.

The Skills Challenge featured a trio of Cavs. Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will all represent Team Cavs. Mobley was coming off a strong showing Friday night in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Team Cavs took on Team Rooks (Scottie Barnes, Toronto Raptors; Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons; Josh Giddey, Oklahoma City Thunder) and Team Antetokounmpos, a team of Antetokounmpos brothers (Giannis, Milwaukee Bucks; Thanasis, Milwaukee Bucks; Alex, G League Raptors 905).

Follow along below for live highlights from Saturday night's competitions:

Obi Toppin wins 2022 Dunk Contest

And so concludes arguably the worst dunk contest in history.

Juan Toscano-Anderson became the second contestant tonight to not even register a dunk, leaving the door open for Toppin to win by default. Toppin, in his first dunk of the final round, had to abandon his initial dunk because he couldn't finish it, instead choosing a more straight-forward dunk. Toppin then completed the initial plan for his second dunk.

No contestant Saturday night registered a 50, the highest possible score.

Myles Garrett threw down three dunks in the Celebrity All-Star Game Friday night. He threw his hat in the ring for next year's dunk contest.

Toppin, Toscano-Anderson advance to finals of dunk contest

The second round of dunks wasn't much better. Cole Anthony failed to complete a second dunk with his allotted attempts. Obi Toppin advanced, but didn't flush it like he wanted. Toscano-Anderson completed his dunk onthe first try, but it didn't wow the judges, either.

Toppin, Toscano-Anderson tied after first round of dunks

The first round of dunks led something to be desired.

Obi Toppin, who played at Dayton, and Juan Toscano-Anderson tied for the top dunk with 44s. Cole Anthony had a 40 after duning in Timberlands and Jalen Green had a 38. The first wave of dunks was mostly errant attempts.

Karl-Anthony Towns wins 3-point contest

Karl-Anthony Towns wants to be known as the best big-man shooter. Saturday night was a strong showing toward that goal.

Towns won the 3-point contest with a 29 in the final round, besting Luke Kennard and Trae Young, who both put up 26s. Towns' 29 is also the record for the final round in the 3-point contest.

Kennard, Young, Towns advance to 3-point contest finals

Luke Kennard, a two-time Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year in high school, advanced to the finals of the 3-point contest along with Trae Young and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Kennard put up a first-round best score of 28. Young and Towns both had 22s.

CJ McCollum, a GlenOak grad, missed the cut with a 19.

The Cavs have won the shooting porition of the Skills Competition. After Jarrett Allen only put up five points, Evan Mobley and Darius Garland caught fire.

Both Mobley and Garland sank shots from the farthest zone, which was for five points.
