Keshad Johnson of the Miami Heat has won the NBA Slam Dunk contest after beating San Antonio rookie Carter Bryant in the final. Bryant opened the last round with a perfect score, but he missed his first two tries and settled for a lesser dunk on his second. Johnson stayed steady and sealed it with a free throw line takeoff and a one-handed windmill. Hall of Famer Julius Erving handed him the trophy. Portland's Damian Lillard won the 3-point contest over Devin Booker of Phoenix. Team Knicks took the Shooting Stars title in the contest's first return since 2015.
