Devin Booker came in second-place in the three-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend. He had a chance to win the event for the second-time in his career, but missed his last three shots that would’ve given him an opportunity to tie or take win the even over eventual champion Damian Lillard.
While he lost, the 57 combined points he scored is 12 more than he won the contest back in 2018. Credit, the scoring system is different than it was eight years ag0, but he made 7 more threes this time on just two extra shots.
In the first round of the contest, Booker had the highest score of any contestant throughout the contest. His 30 points in round one was the 30-point performance in the contest.
While Booker didn’t take home the victory, he’ll have a chance to come away with one on All-Star weekend tomorrow when he participates in the All-Star games for team stripes, and with Phoenix hosting All-Star weekend next year, don’t be shocked if he participates in the three-point contest again.
