Tyler Herro secures 2025 NBA Three-Point Contest title

Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat secured the 2025 NBA Three-Point Contest title Saturday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco for the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend.

The 6-foot-5 guard scored 24 points in the final round to beat Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (19 points) and Golden State Warriors guard Buddy Hield (23 points). Hield had a chance to surpass Herro’s score by needing to make all 5 shots in the corner for his money ball rack but missed out on one shot, giving the victory to Herro.

Herro, Hield, and Garland qualified for the final round after finishing with the top three scores in the first round.

The full scores for the first round were as follows (in order of the shots taken):

Cam Johnson, Brooklyn Nets - 14 points

Darius Garland, Cleveland Cavaliers - 24 points

Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons - 16 points

Norman Powell, Los Angeles Clippers - 14 points

Tyler Herro, Miami Heat - 19 points

Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks - 18 points

Buddy Hield, Golden State Warriors - 31 points (ties Stephen Curry and Tyrese Haliburton for most points scored all-time)

Damian Lillard, Milwaukee Bucks - 18 points

Herro expressed his delight after his championship win. “I got lucky. I thought Buddy was gonna make all 5 shots in the corner, but I was lucky he missed. I’m just happy to be here.”

Herro joins the list of great Miami Heat shooters to have won a three-point shootout crown, joining Glen Rice (1995), Jason Kapono (2007), Daequan Cook (2009), and James Jones (2011).
