At the All-Star weekend, Stephen Curry emerged victorious over Sabrina Ionescu in a groundbreaking 3-point shootout, clinching the win by a narrow three-point margin.

The historic event, marking the NBA’s first mixed-gender competition at its All-Star showcase, saw the Golden State Warriors star and NBA’s leading 3-point scorer narrowly outshine Ionescu, the WNBA’s 3-point contest champion, with a score of 29-26.
