The first NBA HORSE Tournament champion officially has been crowned.
The semifinals and finals of the first-ever NBA HORSE Tournament went down Thursday night, and Utah Jazz’s Mike Conley walked out as the winner.
It was down to Conley and the Chicago Bulls’ Zach LaVine, with LaVine getting Conley down to H-O-R before the latter ultimately won. The Jazz point guard managed to utilize his ability to be ambidextrous, leaving the rest of the field needing a bit more.
The clinching shot for Conley came on a layup from behind the hoop, shooting it over the backboard to clinch the win over LaVine.
