Swopshire & Jennings were also the final two contestants in the halftime Dunk Contest with Jennings being crowned the winner.

Undecided sensation Ater Majok scored 14 points, snagged five rebounds, sunk two three-pointers and blocked a shot to lead the Black Team to a 128-121 victory over the Gold Team. Majok (#8, PF/C, 6'10") hails from Australia and boasts a 7'4" wingspan. Aside from NBA interest in Majok, he is currently being courted by Maryland, Kentucky, Baylor, Connecticut, UCLA, and Kansas.
