Joe Harris has shot 47.1 percent from the three-point line this season on 5.2 attempts per game. This campaign has been his most accurate even while shooting the highest volume of his career. While it was Joey Bucket’s first All-Star weekend, he did not shrink in the spotlight.
Beef-Jerky Joe was the first to shoot in the first round. He started off shaky but finished hot, hitting all five of shots from the money-ball rack for a final score of 25 in the first round. That was just high enough of a score for Lumber Joe to make the final three behind 26 points from Buddy Hield and 27 points from Stephen Curry.
Harris also was the first to shoot in the final round, putting up an even better performance as he once again hit all five of his money-ball rack shots to score 26 points. Buddy Hield followed and scored 17.
Stephen Curry was the final shooter and put up 24 points.
It was a tight race, but Joe Harris walked away as the Three-Point Contest champion with 51 combined points, beating all challengers.
