Steph Curry Leaves NBA Fans in Awe by Beating Sabrina Ionescu in 3-Point Shootout | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
James Holden In a first-of-its-kind competition, Steph Curry beat Sabrina Ionescu in the NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge at NBA All-Star Weekend Saturday night.
Ionescu went first and came out hot, scoring 26 points, which would have been good enough to make the final in the Starry 3-Point Contest that Damian Lillard won. Ionescu used a WNBA-regulation ball, but she didn't back down from the challenge of shooting from the NBA line, making her 26 points even more impressive.
Ionescu certainly put pressure on Curry, and her performance stunned fans.

The event, which was played for charity, certainly excited both NBA and WNBA fans, and it likely won't be the last time the NBA and WNBA combine for competition. Ultimately Curry took home the win, but the night set the stage for an exciting future of three-point battles.
