Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro scored 24 points in the final round to win the 2025 Three-Point Contest on Saturday at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco.
Golden State Warriors guard Buddy Hield nearly overtook Herro with his last rack but missed his second-last moneyball to finish one point short with 23.

Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard, who was chasing a three-peat as Three-Point Contest champion, was eliminated after an 18-point first round. That left him one shy of matching Herro’s opening total, which sent the Heat guard through to the final round with the third-best score.
