Kyrie Irving advanced to final round, but Stephen Curry wins 2015 Three-Point Contest

BROOKLYN -- Golden State's Stephen Curry won the 2015 Foot Locker Three-Point Contest on Saturday night at Barclays Center.
Curry shot an impressive score of 27 points in the final round that included Golden State's other backcourt member Klay Thompson and Cleveland's Kyrie Irving.
Irving was first up in the championship round and he recorded a 17-points. With Curry and Thompson on deck, that would not be enough to get it done. Thompson was the final contestant chasing Curry's mark and he failed miserably, producing only 14 points.
The field was so deep with prolific shooters that Wesley Matthews of the Trail Blazers couldn't make it out of the opening round with a 22-point mark. - CLICK HERE to read full story.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- As the Cavs reach the All-Star break at 33-22, it's hard to remember that they were 19-20 at one point.
The NBA regular season is 82 games. Two contests short of the 41-game midpoint, they were 19-20. Since then they're 14-2.
Here's a breakdown of the season so far:
THE MVP: When LeBron James plays, the Cavs are 31-14; 2-8 when he sits. He's second in the NBA in scoring (25.9), seventh in assists (7.3) and has made the Cavs instant Eastern Conference contenders. They have equaled their win total of 2013-14, which ended 33-49. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
