LOS ANGELES, USA – Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr captured the Slam Dunk Contest by beating out Orlando Magic big man Aaron Gordon in a six-dunk display in the NBA All-Stars on Saturday, February 15 (Sunday, February 16, Philippine time)

“It was great, a great competition,” said Jones, who won by one point. 

Jones ran from the opposite three-point line and jumped from 13 feet and slammed in a left handed dunk for his narrow victory.
