Team Spoon edges Team Coop 129-122 in a high-flying WNBA All-Star showdown!
Chicago’s United Center was rocking on July 25, 2026, as a record 19,783 fans packed the building for the WNBA’s 30th anniversary All-Star Game. Team Spoon, drafted by legend Teresa Weatherspoon and coached by Cheryl Reeve, outlasted Team Coop (selected by Cynthia Cooper and guided by Becky Hammon) in a dazzling 129-122 victory that delivered nonstop threes, highlight-reel plays, and pure star power.
Jonquel Jones stole the show and earned MVP honors with a masterful 22-point, 13-rebound, 8-assist masterpiece—becoming the first player ever to claim league MVP, Finals MVP, Commissioner’s Cup MVP, *and* All-Star MVP. Playing through personal heartache after the loss of an aunt, Jones poured in big buckets and orchestrated the offense like a maestro. Allisha Gray added 19 points, Caitlin Clark dropped 17 (including deep bombs from 33 and 37 feet early), and Nneka Ogwumike scored 11 while surpassing Maya Moore for the most career All-Star points in league history. Eight Spoon players hit double figures in a total team clinic.
Team Coop refused to go quietly. Kelsey Mitchell erupted for 28 points, Marina Mabrey drained 23 (most of them in a scorching first half), and young gun Dominique Malonga electrified the crowd with a thunderous first-half dunk—the first in an All-Star Game since Sylvia Fowles in 2022—set up by Angel Reese. Paige Bueckers contributed 12 in a competitive effort.
From Clark’s logo-range heat checks to Malonga’s rim-rattling slam and Jones’s all-around dominance, this was pure WNBA magic. Defense? Optional. Entertainment? Off the charts. Team Spoon walked away with the W, the bragging rights, and another unforgettable night that proves the league is soaring higher than ever. What a ride!
