Warriors star Stephen Curry, who won the three-point contest in 2015, looked like a strong challenger to Harris entering the final round. Curry finished the first round with a score of 27, drilling his last 10 shots to take the lead and advance. However, Curry came in second place with a final round score of 24. He came in hot at the start of the round but fizzled out.
