Rose win Unrivaled's first women's 3-on-3 title over Vinyl - ESPN

MEDLEY, Fla. — Brittney Sykes knocked down the game-winning free-throw and Rose beat Vinyl in the Unrivaled championship game, capping the inaugural season of the women's 3-on-3 basketball league.

Each player on the championship-winning club will receive $50,000 in prize money — part of Unrivaled's goal of compensating its participants more than any almost other professional women's sports league.

Unrivaled, founded by Napheesa Collier and fellow WNBA star Breanna Stewart, has the highest average salary for players of any pro women's sports league with many earning six-figure salaries. Players in Unrivaled have an average salary of more than $220,000, which is close to the maximum base salary in the WNBA.

Sykes had 21 points for Rose on Monday and drew an and-1 on the last play of the game, which set up the winning free throw.

Unrivaled games are played with three seven-minute quarters and an untimed fourth. Teams play to a «winning score» determined by adding 11 points to the squad that is leading after three quarters.

Monday's target score was 62. Sykes went to the line with her team holding a 61-54 lead.

Las Vegas Aces veteran guard Chelsea Gray was named the final MVP after 18 points and eight assists for Rose. Azura Stevens added 19 points and 18 rebounds.

Rose played the game without one of their best players. Angel Reese was sidelined for the playoffs because of a hand injury.

Rhyne Howard led Vinyl with 22 points and six rebounds.

Six teams of 36 of the best players in the WNBA played during the eight week regular season in front of excited crowds. There were plenty of memorable moments: The Chicago Sky's sensational rookie guard Reese scored the first 20-point, 20-rebound game in Unrivaled history on Feb. 21.
