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.

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.
