There was only a single Toronto Raptor involved in the NBA’s All-Star Saturday Night, but the sole glimpse of him was thrilling nonetheless. Danny Green, in his first ever Three-Point Contest appearance, took the floor and racked up 23 points in an impressive display of his quick-trigger shooting form.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough as Joe Harris (25), Buddy Hield (26), and Steph Curry (27) all totalled a higher score in their initial showings. Curry, notably, hit 10-straight shots to close out his round.
Ultimately, Harris took the shootout with a final score of 26 (Curry finished with 24).
As for the evening’s other events, Jayson Tatum won the Skills Challenge and Hamidou Diallo took the Slam Dunk Contest.
Here are the highlights, for your perusal:
