Napheesa Collier was crowned the WNBA All-Star Game MVP in Team Collier’s 151-131 win over Team Clark, amassing 36 points (13-of-16 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and four three-pointers over 19 minutes.
Collier, who also served as a captain for one of the teams, finished the night with one of the most efficient and dominant performances in recent memory. Minnesota’s scoring machine set a new All-Star Game record with 36 points, breaking the previous record (34) established last year by Arike Ogunbowale. The 28-year-old forward became the first player in the game’s history to notch a 30-point performance by shooting at least 70 percent from the field.
