Buddy Hield and Devin Booker both entered the final round with a score of 27 with Bertans entering the final round with a 26. The final round soon became a duel between Booker and Hield, with the contest hinging on Hield’s last money ball, which he cashed in for his title.
A Bahamian international out of the University of Oklahoma, Buddy Hield has been averaging 20.4 points per game for the Kings this season, including shooting 38.5% shooting on nearly 10 three-point attempts per game and will now go down in history in a select group of celebrated three-point shooters including Larry Bird, Stephen Curry, and Dirk Nowitzki to have won the three-point contest.
