The Cleveland Cavaliers' duo of Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell kicked off All-Star Saturday by winning the skills challenge at San Francisco, Calif.

The Cavaliers delivered a final-round time of an even one minute, while the Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green and Moses Moody were unable to top the combined time of Mobley and Mitchell.

The four-team skills challenge consisted of an obstacle-style course that had two passing testS, three shooting stations, one more passing station followed by a half-court drive to the basket and layup.

Mobley also was a part of the Cavaliers' three-player squad that won the skills challenge in 2022.

The San Antonio Spurs' duo of Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama were disqualified from the opening round Saturday after not making a legitimate shot attempt at any of the three shooting stations, while simply concentrating on time.

The rookie squad of Zaccharie Risacher of the Atlanta Hawks and Alex Sarr of the Washington Wizards also was eliminated in the first round.
