There is no three-peat for two-time 3-point king Damian Lillard. The Milwaukee Bucks guard failed to make it out of the first round on Saturday as Buddy Hield, Tyler Herro and Darius Garland made it to the finals out of a field of eight participants. There, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro took home the crown, with a final-round score of 24 edge fellow finalist Buddy Hield, who finished with 23 points in front of his hometown Golden State crowd. Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland finished in third place.

After the Heat’s pre-All-Star break schedule came to an end Thursday in Dallas, Tyler Herro flew back with the team to Miami.
That might seem like an unusual move for a player who needs to be in San Francisco for ASW. But it’s part of Herro’s plan.

Anthony Slater: The Warriors’ season hits its low-water mark. They lose to the 9-31 Raptors in Toronto and dip below .500 for the first time: 19-20. Their veteran scorers (Hield, Schroder) are struggling and their young guys (Kuminga, Podziemski) are hurt. At Minnesota to close road trip. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / January 13, 2025
Marc J. Spears: The Cavs’ Darius Garland is paying homage to his father, Winston Garland with his jersey during the 3pt contest. The jersey is a Cavs jersey with “W. Garland” on back and his dad’s number “22”. The Golden State Warriors was the last team his dad played for in the NBA. -via Twitter @MarcJSpears / February 15, 2025
“Okay, let’s talk a little about last night’s game. You beat the Raptors very, very easily. But you’re up 23, and Canadian Tristan Thompson goes for a dunk with just a few seconds left. Obviously, the Raptor players weren’t happy about it. Their coach called it ‘no class,’ ‘disrespectful.’ What’s going on here? Why?” Darius Garland: “I wish I knew, man. He’s gonna do whatever he wants to do. They were playing hard; he wanted to continue playing hard. He wanted to go dunk it, and this was the result. I mean, there was a lot of commotion. -via YouTube / February 13, 2025
The Cavs have $190 million committed to five players — the core four of Mitchell, Mobley, Allen and Darius Garland, plus Jaylon Tyson — in 2027-28 on a projected second apron of $251.4 million. By then, all complementary players such as Hunter, Max Strus, Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro will no longer be under contract. Should the Cavs fight to retain their four biggest players, they will effectively need to rebuild the entire roster around them. That’s where scouting and development become so crucial. -via New York Times / February 12, 2025
