Celts' Jayson Tatum tops Trae Young to win All-Star skills competition

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum made sure All-Star Saturday Night got off to a dramatic start.

Tatum fell behind in each of his three rounds of the Taco Bell Skills Challenge -- first to Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley, then to Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and finally to Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young -- before coming from behind to win each of them and start the night off with a victory.

"No, that was not the plan," Tatum said with a smile.
