He had a chance to win the event for the second-time in his career, but missed his last three shots that would\u2019ve given him an opportunity to tie or take win the even over eventual champion Damian Lillard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">While Booker didn\u2019t take home the victory, he\u2019ll 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\u2019t be shocked if he participates in the three-point contest again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Devin Booker came in second-place in the three-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend.
