During the first round, it looked like Team Westbrook (featuring Russell Westbrook, Penny Hardaway and Tamika Catchings) would be a strong challenger. Hardaway nailed the halfcourt shot on his first attempt, giving Team Westbrook a strong debut and a ticket to the final. Team Bosh joined them in the finals when Bosh drained the halfcourt shot with ease.
The final proved to be a much bigger challenge as Team Westbrook was unable to connect on the halfcourt shot before the 1:30 time limit expired. That gave the reigning champs plenty of leeway, and while the halfcourt shot proved to be more difficult the second time around Wilkins was eventually able to connect to make it three in a row for Team Bosh.
