Minnesota Timberwolves second-year guard Zach LaVine needed two tiebreakers, but he fought off a valiant effort from Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (who had help from Stuff the Magic Dragon) to win his second consecutive Slam Dunk Contest.
Check out of all of LaVine’s dunks below!

It’s another step forward for LaVine, who has a bright career ahead of him. Just the same, there’s no doubt that, even in defeat, Gordon had the dunk of the night.
Aaron Gordon with the dunk of the night! Dude sat down mid-air. Absolutely amazing. https://t.co/YEJ2M0cQYN
