The players are seeking a salary increase and better benefits, among other improvements.\n\nThe game set a record for points scored in a WNBA All-Star game, and Napheesa Collier set the individual mark with 36 points. Team Collier defeated Team Clark 151-131.\n\nThe defense was minimal, as the league&#8217;s stars allowed their rivals to shoot unopposed.\n\nAlthough similar to the All-Star games in other professional leagues, Parker expected more from the WNBA players, especially at a time of so much media attention.\n\n&#8220;I think in one of the most important scenarios, in an All-Star environment that had more investment than any previous All-Star game&#8230; I think it really would have maximized the moment.&#8221;\n\nFever forward Aliyah Boston, who played on Team Clark, defended her teammates&#8217; performance.\n\n&#8220;In an All-Star Game, where we have another game in two days, I think it&#8217;s okay to go out and play and have fun,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because on Tuesday, we got back to the action, and we proved once again why we deserve to get paid.&#8221;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Candace Parker criticizes the performance in the WNBA All-Star Game The seven-time WNBA All-Star, Candace Parker, expressed her discontent with the effort shown in the All-Star Game.
