INDIANAPOLIS -- Stephen Curry might be considered the greatest shooter in basketball history. But Sabrina Ionescu certainly made him prove it Saturday night as part of NBA All-Star Weekend.
The Golden State Warriors guard edged the New York Liberty guard 29-26 in an NBA vs. WNBA 3-point contest -- the first of its kind.
Ionescu opened by making seven straight shots before finishing with a total score of 26 -- which happened to tie the highest score by any NBA player in the 3-point contest held earlier Saturday night and won by the Milwaukee Bucks' Damian Lillard.
Curry had perfect racks from both the left and right wings and went into the final rack -- his money-ball rack, with each make worth two points -- with 21 points. He missed his first shot but then made the last four to close with 29 points and the dramatic victory.
