Gallinari falls, Pierce wins Three-Point Shootout
The Knicks' Danilo Gallinari was eliminated in the first round of the Three-Point Shootout won by Boston's Paul Pierce yesterday. "I wanted this really bad," Pierce said. Pierce had 20 points in the final round, making all five of the two-point money balls, to beat Golden State's Stephen Curry (17) and Denver's Chauncey Billups (14).
Defending three-point champion Daequan Cook of Miami was eliminated after the first round. His 15 points tied Phoenix's Channing Frye and Gallinari. - AP
