LAS VEGAS, NV — Brittney Griner made an emphatic and emotional return to the WNBA’s midseason showcase event.
“To have that ovation and all those little memories that I can cherish now, it means the world," Griner said. “So it was no question I was going to come and play. They have never wavered in their support.” “I played hard because of my parents; I didn't get them a gift for their anniversary,” Loyd said. “So I think this was acceptable. I hope it is.”
Team Stewart made Griner the focal point from the beginning. She delivered a dunk with 3:50 remaining in the first quarter off an outlet pass from Stewart. Griner also had a dunk 25 seconds into the second half. Griner at one point in the first quarter challenged Team Wilson point guard Chelsea Gray of the Aces, but Gray drove past the nine-time All-Star from the Phoenix Mercury and dropped in a reverse layup from high off the glass. It was one of the few plays that didn't work out for Griner.
The game was played with a 20-second shot clock rather than the usual 24, two 4-point spots on each side of the court were added and there were no free throws. The teams combined to hit 12 4-point shots.
