Chicago—The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game delivered fireworks at United Center as Team Spoon defeated Team Coop 129-122, with New York Liberty star Jonquel Jones earning MVP honors after a dazzling 22-point, 13-rebound, eight-assist line. Caitlin Clark splashed five triples en route to 17 points for the winners, while Allisha Gray added 19 off the bench and rookie sensation Olivia Miles posted an 11-point, 12-rebound, eight-assist near-triple-double. Team Coop kept things tight behind Kelsey Mitchell’s game-high 28 points and Marina Mabrey’s hot 23-point start, but the comeback fell short as Jones’ inside-out dominance sealed the victory.
