The WNBA’s 30th season continued its festivities with the All-Star Game on Saturday night in Chicago, marking the first event since 2022 to take place there. The game featured high-scoring performances, and Jonquel Jones’s exceptional play led Caitlin Clark and Team Spoon to a 129–122 victory over Marina Mabrey and Team Coop.
Jones delivered an impressive stat line with 22 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. Her performance earned her the title of the game’s most valuable player.
Team Highlights
Team Spoon showcased balanced scoring with eight players reaching double figures. Allisha Gray recorded 19 points and Caitlin Clark added 17. The game was notable for its lackadaisical defense, totaling 127 three-point attempts.
The event attracted a record crowd of 19,783 spectators at the United Center, the long-standing venue of the Chicago Bulls.

Preceding the All-Star Game, the 3-point contest and Shooting Stars competition took place at the smaller Wintrust Arena nearby.
Notable Moments
During the game’s second quarter, Dominique Malonga thrilled fans with a dunk off a pass from Angel Reese of the Atlanta Dream. As a 6-foot-6 center for the Seattle Storm, Malonga became the seventh player to dunk in an All-Star Game and made history as the youngest to do so.
