Kings guard Buddy Hield put on a show in the opening round of the 3-Point Contest on All-Star Saturday night at Spectrum Center, but he couldn’t find his rhythm in the finals against two of the best shooters in the NBA.
Hield put up 26 points in the first round and 19 points in the finals, finishing third behind Joe Harris of the Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry. Harris won the competition with 26 points in the final round. Curry was second with 24.
“Joe shot the hell out of the ball, so I’m happy for him, but I wish I could have got the win,” Hield said.
