Who won the NBA 3-point contest?

After a narrow final round, Steph Curry won the three-point contest by beating the Utah Jazz's Mike Conley. This was Curry's seventh three-point contest, and his second win. After the win, he dedicated his win to his teammate Klay Thompson – currently sidelined due to his Achilles injury.
