Sabrina Ionescu delivered another impressive shooting performance to capture her second 3-point contest title during All-Star.
New York as Liberty teammate Natasha Cloud also claimed victory in the skills competition.
"I knew I am not going to get it when I missed a few on the front end," Ionescu stated of the record. "However, I could have gotten close. I just missed some easy ones at the end.  I was high up there, and I rather locked out a little bit and started like listening to the crowd. However, I mean, 30 is not too bad. So I'm happy with 30 as well."
Allie Quigley’s mark. Quigley, who has won the contest four times, is the only other player with multiple titles.
Ionescu skipped last year’s WNBA All-Star 3-point contest to prepare for the Olympics. However, she did take part in the NBA’s version in Indianapolis, where she faced off against Steph Curry in a special showdown. Although she narrowly lost that time, she returned to Indianapolis determined not to fall short again.
As Cloud made her final layup, Ionescu sprinted over and embraced her in a big hug. Afterward, Cloud walked to center court, lifted her girlfriend — Liberty teammate Isabelle Harrison — and shared a kiss. She later shared that she plans to use her winnings as a down payment on a house for the two of them.
In summary, Cloud received $55,000 from Aflac as part of a partnership with the WNBPA, and an additional $2,575 from the league. Ionescu won $62,575 -- $60,000 from Aflac and $2,575 from the league.
