Irving won the 3-point contest on All-Star Saturday night, scoring 23 points in the final round to fall two points shy of the event’s record. Irving surpassed his best practice round at Cleveland Clinic Courts when the best round he could muster was a 22.
Irving made 14 of his first 15 shots in the final round, which even brought LeBron James out of his chair with a fist pump and yell when Irving’s remarkable round was over.
