Damian Lillard is now a three-time Three-Point Contest champion, after besting Devin Booker in a tight showdown on Saturday.
Lillard, who is out for the season after tearing his Achilles in the playoffs last season, stepped into the competition having won in 2023 and ’24. The Trail Blazers guard poured in a final-round score of 29, but Booker was on pace to top him before missing his last three shots on the final rack. He settled for second place and a score of 27. Booker went last after leading the way with 30 points in the opening round. The Suns star was the champion in 2018.
