Jonquel Jones and the WNBA All-Stars took down Team USA starring New York Liberty teammates Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones.
Jones capped off an eventful weekend at the WNBA All-Star Game with a win, as a squad of WNBA All-Stars took down the United States' women's national team by a 117-109 final in the main event at Footprint Center in Phoenix. It's the first and last domestic tune-up for Team USA, which will go for another gold medal at the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris.
Stewart's scoring would've tied the WNBA All-Star Game record set by Team USA teammate Jewell Loyd during last year's game in Las Vegas. But Arike Ogunbowale stole the show and then some, as all 34 of her points came in the second half. Twenty-one in the third quarter erased a slim lead Team USA held at halftime before she closed the door with 13 more to close things out.
Elsewhere on the Team WNBA box score, touted rookies lived up to their respective billings: Angel Reese posted a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double while Caitlin Clark set a rookie record with 10 assists, one short of the record 11 Sue Bird had in 2017.
