Andre Iguodala scored 30 points, mostly on dunks, leading the sophomores over the rookies 106-96 in the Rookie Challenge on Friday night.

The Philadelphia swingman is one of the four players in Saturday night's slam dunk contest, and he had a chance to show his leaping skills Friday. All three of his first-half field goals were dunks, then he helped the sophomores break open the game early in the second half with a few more.

He even added four 3-pointers and shot 13-of-17 from the field to win MVP honors.

Ben Gordon added 17 points for the sophomores, who led by as much as 23 points.

Rockets guard Luther Head and Toronto's Charlie Villanueva each scored 18 points for the rookies, who were 7-for-26 (27 percent) from 3-point range. Chris Paul, the likely Rookie of the Year, had 11 assists and five steals but scored only eight points.
