Two local basketball pros are facing off tonight in the NBA HORSE Competition. Sky guard Allie Quigley (Joliet Catholic Grad) and Bulls guard Zach LaVine advanced to the next round over the weekend, beating Chris Paul and Paul Pierce, respectively. That sets up an all-Chicago semifinal between LaVine and Quigley on tonight on ESPN. Chauncey Billups faces Mike Conley Jr. in the other semifinal. Check it out tonight @ 8pm on ESPN.

Here’s the rundown on the rules, per a release from ESPN:

A coin toss at the start of each game will determine who shoots first, with the more senior player calling heads or tails
Players must describe each shot attempt, specifying the type of score they intend to make before taking a shot, such as a bank shot or swish
Dunking is prohibited (frankly, this feels targeted at LaVine)
The first player in each game to accumulate the letters “H-O-R-S-E” after failing to match five shots is eliminated

So, basically, a game of H-O-R-S-E.
