First place: Definitely the most "peak action" photo in this category. A bit narrow for a vertical crop.
Second place: A clean action photo with a clean background.
Third place: An average "to the hoop" basketball photo that is elevated by the chaos surrounding the driving player. Could have been improved by being a bit wider to show more of the players on the left and bottom of the frame.
