Eric Gordon of the Houston Rockets just didn’t have it today for the 3-Point Contest. Tried as he did, he couldn’t defend his crown from last year in New Orleans.
Wearing the City Chinese New Year jersey, Eric Gordon went second-to-last in the first round and accumulated just 12 points. He started heating up at the end, but it just wasn’t enough for him to move on to the finals.
Thankfully, EG wasn’t quite in last place for the event. Paul George of the Oklahoma City Thunder had that honor, scoring just 9 points.
