SALT LAKE CITY — Damian Lillard represented his school and his brand.The Portland Trail Blazers star and Oakland native won the 3-point contest at the NBA’s All-Star Saturday, topping Indiana teammates Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton in the final round. Hield won last year’s contest.
“They say the third time’s the charm,” said Lillard, who got his first 3-point title in his third try at the event. “And I’m happy that it happened here. It’s a perfect situation.
