Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo took home the 2020 Skills Challenge title after taking down Indiana Pacers big man Domantas Sabonis in the championship round.


The first-time All-Star started his night beating Brooklyn Nets guard and former Skills Challenge champion Spencer Dinwiddie in the first round, with a near flawless run. 

He nailed the chest pass, before burying the three-pointer on his first attempts, to set up a second-round clash with Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam.

Adebayo again made the chest pass, showing off his passing skills and connected on the three-point shot on his second attempt.


Adebayo became the first Heat player to win the Skills Challenge since Dwyane Wade in 2007.
