Buddy Hield catches fire late to win the 3-point contest

Man oh man, what a finish. We don’t normally look at the 3-point contest as the most exciting event during All-Star weekend’s Saturday night, but maybe we should after today.

After we got Davis Bertans out of the way, Buddy Hield and Devin Booker went head to head in the final round of the contest and, fam, let me tell you, they did not disappoint.

Buddy Hield ended up snatching the W right out of Book’s hands. Booker got to 26 points after hitting three money balls on his final rack. Normally, that feels like enough. Tonight? It just barely wasn’t.

Hield got to 27 points on the very. Last. Rack.

That finish was sooooo good. Buddy Buckets had the arena going nuts, including everybody on the bench. AND the announcers.

Shoutout to Hield, man. Maybe he is the next Steph Curry? Nah, too far, probably.
