Jamal Murray falls short in the NBA All-Star 3-point contest, extending his wait for a title in this event. The Nuggets’ starting point guard pumped in 18 points during the first round on Saturday in Inglewood, California, which wasn’t enough to move him forward.
Damian Lillard claimed the crown for the third time in four years, edging out Devin Booker of Phoenix and Kon Knueppel of Charlotte. Lillard’s performance adds another trophy to his resume as he returns to action in Portland this season.
Meanwhile, Murray will team up with Nikola Jokic to represent the Nuggets in the All-Star Game set for Sunday night at the Intuit Dome.
