minutes ago, all media kicked off because it is double super secret time. they are rehearsing the entry. the intro to tomorrow's actual all-star festivities. so next, best thing we're just off the court and i'll give you a rundown of everything that went down here tonight. it was a magnificent night. i ton of star power, a ton of fun and som wow moments that we will get to. let's start chronologically here with the skills competition. that was the first event of the evening. we did have warriors in here. we'll get to that. but first, that's victor wembanyama. he and chris paul representing the spurs. now they're supposed to be shooting the basketball here. instead, it's just fling fling fling trying to cheat the system a little bit because time matters. will you know what the fans didn't like it, mr. moody didn't like it. donovan mitchell's like now 2 tfumbs down. forget about that. here's moses moody doing it the right way. he's making shots dream on crypt, pet crisp passes. the warriors got to the final round of the skills competition against

mobley and mitchell. but it was the cabs that prevailed. and so they are the winners of your skills challenge. then we go to the 3 point competition. and this was interesting because it was buddy hield representing the warriors, not steph curry. but buddy did his best steph curry impersonation. he had a shot here. tyler herro versus hield in the finals. there's hero representing the heat. he had 24 points in the fines. hield can feed him if he makes these last 3 shots. but he missed that one. and that was just enough that he would come up a buck short. 24 staff says so close. tyler herro wins the 3 point competition. but buddy ball certainly impress the crowd. it's good. great vibes. put on a >> all-star weekend we would fans of. and you know, i think 25 years. so i'm glad to be here. we bought it.

dreams begin here. welcome to the goodnight club. >> cal fire has started to release new maps. they outlined the severity of fire danger in california communities. this comes after governor newsom signed an executive order to accelerate the release of those maps, grass valley and trucking saw a pretty big jump in severity. so did auburn, juliet smith has the story. >> approximately 1.4 million new acres of land have been added to the 2 higher tiers of fire hazard severity. according to a press release from the governor's office, cal fire drew this map based on vegetation. data, topography, weather and climate change patterns to

calculate the wildfire probability and intensity. the new executive order will require an ember resistant. so within 5 feet of structures located in the highest fire severity zones. officials say this is the key to stopping wildfires from spreading to homes. >> many people say we've got a wildfire crisis in the state. i like to say we actually have our admission crisis in the state. this means the removal of all brush vegetation and flammable fencing, gravel and concrete should be used instead of or combustible. greenery member lands within the first. >> 5 feet of your house and can ignite. i n when the education it can get into eves. it lands on the roof. if you've got that debris because we haven't cleared you better than your roof. and if the numbers are hard enough. it will ignite. so the idea is to be able to create this buffer of defensible space. some note that replacing existing
