Suns Guard Devin Booker Wins 3-Point Contest with Record-Setting 28 Points

The NBA's Three-Point Contest got off to a rough start Saturday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, with the contestants laying bricks throughout the first round. Not a single shooter reached the 20-point plateau in the opening frame.

In the championship round, however, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker caught fire, setting a contest record with 28 points en route to knocking off Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors and Tobias Harris of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Booker's final-round score broke the previous record of 27, held by both Thompson (2016) and his Warriors teammate Steph Curry (2015).

Booker is the second Suns player to win the competition, joining Quentin Richardson, who won with just 19 points in 2005.
