Dallas, TX (Sports Network) – Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash won the Skills Challenge for the second time in his career, besting Utah’s Deron Williams in the final round as part of NBA’s All-Star Saturday night.
The Skills Challenge consists of four players competing in a two-round timed obstacle course with dribbling, passing and shooting stations.
Nash won the final round with a time of 29.9 seconds, adding to the title he captured in 2005.
Milwaukee’s Brandon Jennings and Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook were eliminated in the first round. Westbrook replaced Chicago’s Derrick Rose, who was out due to a bruised right hip.
Williams, a Dallas native, took home the 2008 crown.
