There’s not much of a better way to enter a three-point contest at NBA All-Star Weekend than by canning eight triples to put a bow on the first half of your season in winning fashion, and Los Angeles Clippers sharpshooter Luke Kennard did just that. Better yet, Kennard carried that momentum into a first-round high score of 28 in the competition, making it into the top-three. Unfortunately, Karl-Anthony Towns shocked the world and oddsmakers with a blistering 29 to defeat Kennard and Trae Young’s 26 for the shooting crown, but there was a silver lining. About three hours northeast of his hometown of Middletown, Kennard’s family and friends were watching it all happen live at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in downtown Cleveland.
