Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard is eying a three-peat of the 3-point contest in the NBA All-Star.
The 33-year-old was simply outstanding on the day as he won the 3-point contest for the second year running. He ended up posting 26 points to win the contest which levelled him Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks and Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers.
On the tiebreaker, Lillard went on to clinch the contest. After the match, he confirmed to numerous media outlets that he is looking to take part in the contest next year to go for a three-peat, especially because the event will be organised in his hometown.
Lillard is having an impressive season for the Bucks where he is averaging 24.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. In his most recent outing against the Memphis Grizzlies, he ended up registering 24 points to go with five rebounds and seven assists.
The best outing for the California-born this season while playing for the Bucks came in the match against the Detroit Pistons where he ended up registering 45 points to go with six rebounds and 11 assists. It was the second time this season that he registered 40 or more points for the Bucks.
