Will Daequan Cook Carry Recent Momemtum Into A 3-Point Repeat??

(3-Point Shootout - 8:30 PM TNT)

'Daequan Cook is back' was the buzz around the Miami Heat after a 94-76 rout of the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 10th. The shooting guard had perhaps his finest outing of the season so far, netting an efficient 17 points in 21 minutes (7-12, 3-5 from three point range). It was Cook's 2nd double figures scoring night in a row, he contributed 10 points vs Houston the night before. Daequan's confidence boost could not have came at a better time as he enters the 3-point shootut amidst critics who question his place in the competition. (even though there should not be many, he is the defending champ after all)

So will #14 shock the NBA again & repeat as 3-point shootout champion? The competition is pretty stiff with Steph Curry, Paul Pierce, & Daniel Galinari. But we think if Cook can get out of the first round, he will definitely find his championship groove & bring the title home again.
