If you first don't succeed, get a second chance thanks to a malfunctioning shot clock. That's how Peja Stojakovic defended his crown, making good on a second set of shots to defeat Wesley Person in a shootoff for the second straight year. Stojakovic, who scored a 13 after being interrupted by a inadvertent horn, got to shoot again much to the delight of the crowd and scored a 22 to beat Person's final-round 16.
