Allisha Gray wins Three-Point Contest, sweeps All-Star Friday Night
Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray doubled up on her All-Star silverware Friday, beating the New York Liberty's Jonquel Jones in the final to win the WNBA Three-Point Contest.
Gray won the Skills Challenge earlier, making her the first player in history to win both events on the same day.
What a night for Allisha Gray 👏

The Dream guard's 22 points in the final were just enough to hold off Jones, who fell short by a single point. The Liberty forward advanced out of the first round with a 25-point performance, the best mark by anybody in Friday's field.
