Stephen Curry just shot his way to the 2021 3-Point Contest title. The Golden State Warriors sharpshooter out-sniped Mike Conley of the Utah Jazz in the final round and knocked down 28 points to seal the second 3-Point title of his career.
The two-time MVP was off to a red-hot start as he led all shooters after the first-round with 31 points. Conley had 24, while Boston Celtics swingman Jayson Tatum scored 25. All three advanced to the final round.

Jaylen Brown, Zach LaVine and Donovan Mitchell were sent packing after their respective first rounds.
In the final round, Conley had 27 points and ultimately eliminated Tatum's 17. This set the stage for Stephen Curry to go crazy.
After going video-game mode in his first round, the Warriors star went bonkers once again in what ended up to be his winning round. He knocked down both of his shots from the ‘Mountain Dew' range, which helped him bounce back after a couple of misses in his first rack.
Big shot after big shot, Curry just had it going. The 2015 3-Point Contest winner, though, kept it close and needed to drain his final money ball to win it all. And, obviously, the Warriors leader made it look absolutely Steph-ortless.
Take a bow, Chef.
