Time Team: Tanoka Beard 20, Ainars Bagatskis 15, Robert Pack, 14, Antonio Grant 10, Sheiku Kabba 9, Tyron Nesby and Aleksandr Savenkov 6, Freeman McKamey 5, Ales Zivanovic 1, Haris Mujezinovic 0.

Three point shoot out contest was arguably the most impressive part of LKL All Star Day events. Lithuanian shooters proved once again their quality. The only foreigner among participants – defending champion Ainars Bagatskis never found his rhythm and was out of the competition after scoring 13 points in the first round. Semi-finals round was the most intensive, after Siauliai' shooter Arvydas Cepulis and Eligijus Redeckas from Sakalai did not qualify to the finals with 23 and 22 points respectively. Petras Salvis tied 24 points score set by Andrius Slezas and they both qualified to the finals. Petras Salvis continued to demonstrate his cold blood and sweet stroke in the finals, as he won the title outscoring Andrius Slezas 20:18.
