MIAMI (AP) \u2014 Dominique Malonga<\/a> had the first dunk of the season in the 3-on-3 league Unrivaled on Saturday night.<\/p>\n The French player got a pass from Breeze BC teammate Rickea Jackson<\/a> and easily dunked it with her right hand in the first quarter of a game against the Lunar Owls.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels really good. I was practicing a lot,\u201d Malonga said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be a practice (dunker), I want to do that in-game. So, I\u2019m happy about that. I was happy to feel the love from the whole arena, actually. Everybody was so hyped up \u2014 it was a great moment.\u201d<\/p>\n The 6-foot-6 Malonga, who was the No. 2 pick by the Seattle Storm<\/a> in the WNBA<\/a> draft this past season, became the second player to dunk in the two years that Unrivaled has existed. Brittney Griner<\/a> had the first dunk in the inaugural season last year.<\/p>\n Malonga, who is 20 years old, finished the game with 21 points and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n AP WNBA: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/wnba-basketball<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Associated Press MIAMI (AP) \u2014 Dominique Malonga had the first dunk of the season in the 3-on-3 league…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310715,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":["post-431753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
