5:44 am
his brother seth was also competing and the brothers made a fairly expensive bet over who would finish higher. steph scored 27 points in the first round, so he advanced to the finals with buddy hield and joey harris. harris of the nets caught fire in the finals. he put up 26 points and hit all five on the bonus rack. those are worth two points each. steph made nine of his first ten shots but needed to make all of the bonus balls to force overtime. he came up one basket short. but he's okay with it, as larry beil explains. >> so close, yet so far. steph curry came within one, in and out, of forcing overtime in the three-point shoot-out, instead losing by two points to joe harris. >> it's a make-or-miss ma make-or-miss competition. tough way to end it, but joe shut the lights out. it was a great show. i think going into this knowing how strong the field was, whoever won was going to have to

earn it. >> i thought, this guy's not going to miss a shot at all. what was going through your mind? >> it's just such an adrenaline rush. this is what we were talking about on the bench the most is how much fun it is to do this competition. you know, that minute seems like an eternity just because it's just you and the racks and the basket out there. so, i definitely had fun. >> but you guys had a bet on this, and how does that stand, because you got him in points. >> yeah, we'll have to talk about it. we'll have to get a mediator in there and see what's going on. >> upon further review, steph said total points would decide this, so he will pay for family tickets for life in their he did-to-head e, larrybeil, abc7 s sixfinal game of a four-game ro trip, and they blew him out. saturday night's game was in san jose and much more evenly matched. mainly, the canucks were not using an emergency goalie.
5:46 am
and erik karlsson returned. he missed the last nine games due to a groin injury. the defenseman made an immediate impact, set up timo meier for the opening goal, his 21st of the year. in the second tied at 1-1, logan couture showed patience and beat david mark strom. the sharks take the one-goal lead after two periods but the canucks come back. besser takes it from behind the net and fools martin jones. that's his 21st of the season. under seven minutes to go in the game and the shot is stopped but joe pavelski is there for the rebound. that is his 31st of the season. the sharks win 3-2. nba all-star weekend comes to a close today with the actual all-star game, as you saw, larry beil is in charlotte. we're going to bring you those highlights from charlotte and from here in studio tonight starting at 5:00. until then, have a great day. time now is 5:46. turning to weather now and the bay area forecast with
