Jewell Loyd sets WNBA All-Star Game scoring record, wins MVP

LAS VEGAS -- The Seattle Storm's Jewell Loyd set a WNBA All-Star Game scoring record with 31 points, taking home MVP honors and helping Team Stewart pull out a 143-127 victory over Team Wilson Saturday in Las Vegas.

Loyd, who entered the game as the league's top scorer with 25.7 points per game, scored all her points from beyond the arc, hitting a record 10 3-pointers (including one 4-pointer, a special feature in recent All-Star Games). She said winning the award was a goal of hers and dedicated the performance to her parents, who are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary on Saturday.
