Napheesa Collier's record-breaking performance leads her team to victory in

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- Napheesa Collier scored a record 36 points to help her
team beat Team Clark 151-131 in the WNBA All-Star Game that was devoid of
defense and full of 4-point shots.
This record offensive effort came a year after the league's annual exhibition
game was a competitive contest that pitted the U.S Olympic team against WNBA
All-Stars.
The game capped off a weekend where negotiations for a new collective
bargaining agreement took centerstage. Players wore warmup shirts before the
game that said "Pay us what you owe us."
Captain Caitlin Clark was unable to play for her team because of a groin injury
she suffered earlier this week. She still served as ambassador for the weekend.
