Damian Lillard Wins 3-Point Contest

Eight competitors were, but only one could walk away as the victor. The Bucks have something to smile about as one of their main players, Damian Lillard, brings home some hardware during their quest for a championship.

This event was filled with controversy, drama, and downright clutch-ness from most participants. The final round saw Lillard having to defend his title against Karl-Anthony Towns and Trae Young; before this, there was a tiebreaker round where Lillard eliminated Tyrese Haliburton.

What looked like Trae Young had won the event, Lillard returned and turned into prime Lillard against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was knocking down shots left and right until the final rack. This is where he began to struggle, but he had an answer.

With time expiring, the veteran guard hit the event-winning shot to secure him the contest and being champion back-to-back years.

Also, yes, Lillard has confirmed he will be back next year to defend his title. His sights are set on a three-peat.
