Herro edges Hield, Garland to capture Three-Point Contest
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.
Final round
| Player | Team | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Tyler Herro | Miami Heat | 24 |
| Darius Garland | Cleveland Cavaliers | 19 |
| Buddy Hield | Golden State Warriors | 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.

Hield's first total of 31 tied Warriors teammate Stephen Curry and Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton for the highest single-round score ever in the Three-Point Contest. Curry and Haliburton totaled 31 out of 40 points in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
