NBA All-Star Saturday had some twists on previous competitions and delivered some surprising results. Ohio-related stars stole the show to delight the Cleveland crowd.

The hometown Cleveland Cavaliers took home the first team-version of the Skills Contest. Team Cavs, consisting of Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland and Evan Mobley defeated Team Rookies, consisting of Scottie Barnes, Cade Cunningham and Josh Giddey. Mobley won the contest for Team Cavs by draining his first half-court shot attempt in the final round. Team Antetokounmpo, featuring Giannis, Thanasis and Alex Antetokounmpo was eliminated after the first round.

In the Three-Point Contest, Karl-Anthony Towns was dominant. Towns came into the contest with the worst odds and blew away the field. The Minnesota Timberwolves center scored the second-highest total ever with 29 points in the final round.

In a somewhat underwhelming Dunk Contest, Ohio got another win. Dayton University product Obi Toppin was the most consistent performer on his way to a championship. Toppin's first two dunks featured him jumping over dunk coach Chuck Milan and a windmill dunk. In the final round, the New York Knicks forward tried a dunk where he palmed the ball against the glass before dunking. After two attempts, he tossed the ball off the glass and windmilled it after going through his legs. Needing to just complete a dunk on his final attempt to win the contest, Toppin pulled off his originally planned slam.

Patrick Beverley and the Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract extension.

Beverley is in his first season with the Wolves.

Beverley is averaging 9.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 26.1 minutes for the Wolves.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are looking to bolster their roster for a playoff push. That pursuit has them looking at veteran big man Thaddeus Young.

The Wolves have offered Taurean Prince and his expiring $13 million deal for Young. The San Antonio Spurs are holding out for now, in hopes of a better return.

Young has expressed his desire to play for a contender. He was candid about understanding he's not a fit for the rebuilding Spurs. Young has appeared in only 26 games this season and is averaging just 14.2 minutes per game.

If Prince was traded to San Antonio, he would reportedly seek a buyout. That's the same course Young will take, if he's not traded by Thursday's deadline.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been willing to discuss a trade package with the Philadelphia 76ers that includes Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Wolves, however, are unwilling to include draft capital as part of the Trade. The 76ers do not view both players as part of a salary dump trade. The gap between how the 76ers and Wolves view the trade has led the two sides to not gain much traction.

The Wolves have had a strong season with a core of Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell.
