The rules were the same as previously conducted HORSE competitions. The first player was determined with a coin toss, while no dunking was allowed. Anyone who was unable to match the shots and accumulated the latter H-O-R-S-E first was out of the tournament. The games were held at the homes of the various players due to social distancing. State Farm will reportedly be donating more than $200,000 for COVID-19 relief on behalf of the participants. After the competition, the NBA HORSE competition highlights will be available to stream on Watch ESPN. Here are the NBA HORSE competition results.
