A new dunk contest champion was crowned on Saturday night, and for the fourth time in NBA History, it was a Miami Heat player.

Heat second-year forward Keshad Johnson took home the award, besting Spurs rookie Carter Bryant in the final round.

Johnson’s final round score (97.3) bested Bryant’s (93.0), even though Bryant recorded a perfect 50 for one of his dunks. Johnson capped the event with a near-free-throw line windmill.
