All-Star Weekend: Kyrie finishes last in Skills Challenge

Unfortunately, the momentum of Kyrie Irving’s shooting prowess from last night did not carry over to the Taco Bell Skills Competition. Irving posted a time of 42.2 seconds, almost nine seconds behind fifth place finisher Russell Westbrook. Irving missed three shots at the top of the key, and the last miss spun in and out so much that Irving had started to move from the spot and had to go back. Irving also missed one bounce pass into the second target that doomed him. Tony Parker beat out Deron Williams and Rajon Rondo (after a tiebreaker with John Wall) in the final with a time of 32.8 seconds.
