CHICAGO (AP) --- Dallas rookie Azzi Fudd scored 30 points in the championship
round to win the WNBA All-Star 3-point contest on Friday night.
The No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft hit her first six shots in the finals to set
the tone. She edged Bridget Carleton, from the expansion Portland Fire, who had
29 points in the opening round.
Carleton got off to a slow start in the finals and couldn't recover, finishing
with 19 points.
Elena Delle Donne, Shakira Austin and high schooler Jezelle Banks led team
Washington to the Shooting Stars championship to tipoff the Friday night
festivities. The trio scored 31 points to edge Seattle's three in the finals,
with Banks hitting two of the 4-point shots from just inside halfcourt to put
the team over the top.
