Tatum, Brown fall to Curry in NBA 3-point contest; Brown ‘fouled’ by rack

While Boston Celtics teammates Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum were the first such Celtics teammates to participate in the NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest in a decade — the last being Ray Allen and Paul Pierce in 2011 — neither Brown nor Tatum would come away with the title for 2021.

That honor would fall to Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry, who won the event with a 28-point performance that beat the Utah Jazz’ Mike Conley by a single point. Brown would be eliminated in the first round, with Tatum advancing to the second round, but falling with a score of just 17.

Brown had an unintentional moment of levity after being “fouled,” colliding in a shooting motion with the ball rack, but the ice-cold shooting of one of the greatest to ever heave the rock ultimately won out in the end.
