TEAM SPOON defeated TEAM COOP 129-122 in the Women’s National Basketball Association All-Star fixture on Saturday, July 25, 2026, with Jonquel Jones proving pivotal in Chicago as her 22-point, 13-rebound, eight-assist display helped separate the sides after a decisive second period.
There were no official goal events in the match data, but this was still an open, high-tempo contest packed with attacking quality from start to finish. TEAM SPOON set the tone early with 35 points in the opening period and then took real control in the second, putting up 46 more before the interval. That explosive middle stretch gave TEAM SPOON a 81-64 advantage at the break and left TEAM COOP chasing the fixture.
TEAM COOP responded well after the interval and showed enough composure in possession to make the closing stages competitive. Kelsey Mitchell led that push with 28 points, while Paige Bueckers added seven assists to keep the ball moving and create cleaner looks. Dominique Malonga also made her presence felt on the glass with 13 rebounds, helping TEAM COOP narrow the margin across the second half.
Even so, TEAM SPOON remained the more efficient side in key phases. Their shot selection was cleaner, their ball movement sharper, and their control of the boards gave them the platform to manage the final period. Jones was the standout, but the collective numbers told the story too: TEAM SPOON finished with 53 made field goals, 42 assists and 59 rebounds, all of which underlined just how well-balanced their attacking play was.
Tactically, the contrast came down to efficiency and second-chance control. TEAM COOP actually attempted more shots, finishing with 118 field-goal attempts and 66 from beyond the arc, but TEAM SPOON converted at a much stronger 49.5 percent from the floor. In a fixture where both teams were eager to play forward and keep the tempo high, that difference in execution mattered.
