Mike Conley wins H-O-R-S-E Challenge

Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley’s ability to use both hands propelled him to the win Thursday in the NBA’s first HORSE competition as he beat Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine for the title. Conley took the title “H-O” to “H-O-R-S-E” in the championship round. With the sports world halted by the coronavirus pandemic, the NBA, National Basketball Players Association and ESPN teamed up to create the single-elimination NBA HORSE Challenge to provide fans with entertainment. And State Farm, the title sponsor, will donate more than $200,000 in support of coronavirus response efforts.
