Last year's high point total was made by James Jones, who had 22 points on his way to a second place finish to a rallying Love.
Curry fired off a tweet to go with the video, simply saying "Think this will cut it for the shootout."
Yeah, that will...

The Warriors lost their fifth straight game and now head into the All-Star break with questions about their team, the sustainability of their success and their suddenly non-existent defense.
Andrew Bogut said as much after the Warriors' loss to the Rockets on Tuesday, per @SherwoodStrauss.
Bogut: "Right now, our defense is shit"Stephen Curry, David Lee and Harrison Barnes are all headed to Houston for the All-Star festivities, but they will ultimately have to return to a team in desperate need of a win.

Golden State sits in sixth place in the Western Conference through 52 games, but just two games up on the eighth-seeded Houston Rockets, who are currently playing some of their best basketball of the season.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King spoke with Roman about the Super Bowl loss to the Ravens. Here is what Roman had to say:
"That's life," said Roman. "That's sort of the life of a coach. Will it eat at me? Of course it will. But I'll use it as motivation going forward. To dwell on something that's over is so utterly pointless. Anytime you make a call and the play doesn't work, you think of another play that might have worked. We had a valiant effort, a great comeback, and it wasn't enough. That's life. It's the game we love, the highs, the lows. But it doesn't take away from what we did this year, and how excited I'm going to be to coach these guys next year."

Two days after losing the Super Bowl and blaming the referees, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said all the right things, blaming himself and the play-calling. He also mentioned the future of Alex Smith, the now high-priced back-up quarterback that likely wants nothing more than a fresh start in a new uniform.
Whether or not Smith gets that fresh start with another team will not be up to him, though, as Harbaugh stated on Tuesday.
“I don’t think any player has those wishes granted when they’re under contract,” Harbaugh said via San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch. “And everything’s different. Every scenario is unique. It’s certainly not something we’re going to delve into and get into specifics.”
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the 49ers are going to shop Smith to teams this offseason, and Schefter also reported that teams are already lining up for Smith’s services.
However, there may be a wrench thrown in the reported plans of Smith. The 49ers actually may keep him as their back-up quarterback next season.
Smith is under contract with the team after signing a three-year deal in March 2012 worth $8 million per year. He will be owed $7.5 million on April 1.
“I have great respect for Alex,” Harbaugh said. “Great personal friendship, togetherness with Alex. The team, we feel great about our quarterback situation. You can’t have enough good quarterbacks.”
There is nothing that says the 49ers must get rid of Smith by releasing or trading him. There is also nothing that says it would be logical for the team to keep him, though. Kaepernick is the present and future of the 49ers at quarterback, and they have an unneeded high-paid quarterback with trade value at a career high.
Harbaugh was just attempting to make a point on Tuesday. The 49ers are going to do what is best for the team when it comes to Smith’s situation in San Francisco. If that means they can find a trade partner for Smith with a decent return, they will likely go through with it. But if they cannot find a trade partner this offseason or the return does not benefit the team, then the best thing for the 49ers would be to release Smith and save the $7.5 million guaranteed to him on April 1.
There is reason to keep Smith on the roster, though, and inhale the $7.5 million for a back-up quarterback. According to Harbaugh, Smith coaches Kaepernick more than anyone else, and that is still a valuable role for a young quarterback with just 10 NFL games under his belt and a veteran quarterback that has been through nearly everything the NFL can offer.
If the 49ers should keep Smith, he is one of the only back-up quarterbacks in the NFL that can lead a team to a deep run in the playoffs. With Kaepernick running the “pistol” formation, a style of play that allows the quarterback to be susceptible to injury, it would not be a bad idea to have a capable backup waiting in the wings.
All signs point to the 49ers parting ways with Smith one way or another this offseason, but Harbaugh made it clear on Tuesday that the 49ers will do what is best for the 49ers.

ESPN is reporting that teams are already coming forward and will inquire about Smith in the near future for a possible trade with San Francisco.
"The San Francisco 49ers will attempt to trade quarterback Alex Smith this offseason, according to league sources, and some believe they will be able to do it because there is not a great supply of available quarterbacks and there is a demand for Smith."

Look for the two-handed "suck it" gesture as he crosses home plate, by the way -- obviously a missed opportunity in the 2012 World Series.
