Mystics Outlast Fire in a Quadruple-Overtime Thriller (124 – 123)

June 29, 2026

It took four overtime periods and every last drop of energy on the floor, but the Washington Mystics finally outlasted the Portland Fire 124–123 in one of the most exhausting and electrifying games of the 2026 WNBA season. The 3-hour, 35-minute marathon featured 21 ties and 12 lead changes, completely exhausting both rosters.

The game finally ended in a dramatic fourth overtime. With under two minutes remaining, the squads traded desperate possessions. Fighting through severe leg cramps, Washington’s Sonia Citron caught a clutch pass and converted a gritty layup to give the Mystics a 124-122 lead with just 21.4 seconds on the clock. Portland’s rookie sensation Carla Leite attacked the basket on the next possession, drawing a foul with 13.1 seconds left. Under immense pressure, Leite split her free throws, leaving the Fire trailing by one. After a frantic scramble, Leite got one final look—a driving runner at the buzzer—but it bounced off the back rim as time expired.

Full game highlights;

Sonia Citron led all scorers with a career-high 32 points for the Mystics. Portland was propelled by Carla Leite, who mirrored Citron with her own career-high 32 points alongside 9 assists, while Sarah Ashlee Barker added 25 on 62.5% shooting and 6 rebounds.

Mitchell and Boston Shine as Shorthanded Fever Roll Past Sparks (111 – 87)

June 28, 2026

The Indiana Fever delivered a dominant team performance to secure an emphatic 111-87 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. The convincing win came despite both teams missing their signature stars: Indiana took the court without the injured Caitlin Clark (back), while the Sparks were forced to adapt without offensive powerhouse Kelsey Plum (left leg) and Cameron Brink (left ankle).

In Clark’s absence, the Fever’s starting lineup stepped up remarkably to share the load. Kelsey Mitchell paced the efficient offense with a game-high 26 points, showcasing brilliant accuracy from beyond the arc with a 4 of 6 shooting. Center Aliyah Boston set the tone early, anchoring the interior with 17 points and 7 rebounds—scoring 15 in the first half alone to catalyze Indiana’s breakout lead. Standing in for Clark, Tyasha Harris delivered a stellar 16-point and 5-rebounds performance, while Monique Billings chipped in a vital 15 points and 6 rebounds to round out a balanced, high-scoring attack.

The depleted Sparks struggled to find defensive answers, but their veteran leaders battled through the adversity. Nneka Ogwumike led Los Angeles with a resilient 17 points and 7 rebounds, while Dearica Hamby contributed 15 points in the effort. Ultimately, Indiana’s cohesive ball movement and scorching 55% shooting efficiency proved too overwhelming for the visitors to overcome.

Phoenix Mercury’s Alyssa Thomas Suspended One Game Following Flagrant 2 Foul

June 25, 2026

The WNBA announced today that Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas has been assessed a Flagrant Foul 2 penalty and a one-game suspension following a league review.

The disciplinary action stems from an incident with 6:52 remaining in the second quarter of the Mercury’s 111-109 victory over the Indiana Fever last night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Upon review, the league determined that Thomas committed a non-basketball act by recklessly making contact with her fist to the throat of Fever guard Caitlin Clark.

Here’s the video of the play in question;

Under WNBA rules, the league office retains the right to retroactively upgrade fouls and issue fines or suspensions postgame. Thomas is scheduled to serve her suspension on June 27, missing the Mercury’s upcoming road game against the Toronto Tempo.

Fever Fall Short Against the Mercury in 111-109 Thriller After Caitlin Clark Exits with Injury

June 25, 2026

The Indiana Fever narrowly dropped a high-stakes, physical rematch to the Phoenix Mercury, 111-109. The turning point came in the third quarter when Fever star Caitlin Clark was forced to leave the game early due to a persistent back injury, finishing with 19 points in 20 minutes.

Despite her absence, the Fever offense stayed potent. Kelsey Mitchell spearheaded the effort with a brilliant 30-point performance, tying a franchise record by sinking seven 3-pointers. Aliyah Boston dominated inside, contributing 23 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, while Myisha Hines-Allen provided a vital spark off the bench with a season-high 13 points, grabbing 5 rebounds.

Defensively, however, Indiana struggled to contain Phoenix down the stretch. In her post-game interview, head coach Stephanie White criticized the lack of defensive discipline and the non-calls on physical plays against Clark, calling it “absolutely unacceptable” and demanding more accountability moving forward.

Bucks Trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to Heat

June 23, 2026

In a stunning blockbuster deal, the Milwaukee Bucks have traded two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat. The massive trade completely reshapes the Eastern Conference landscape.

In exchange for the “Greek Freak,” Milwaukee receives a substantial haul of young talent and future draft capital. The package features Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, and Kasparas Jakučionis, alongside the No. 13 pick in the draft and multiple future first-round picks.

By pulling off this monumental deal, Heat President Pat Riley pairs Antetokounmpo with Bam Adebayo. However, Miami is not yet a premier championship contender; the front office still has work to do to surround its two superstars with a complementary supporting cast.

Clark and Mitchell Fuel Fever Past Mercury (86 – 77)

June 23, 2026

This was Indiana’s first game of their three-game homestand and the Fever staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Phoenix Mercury 86-77 in a highly charged matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The game began as an absolute disaster for Indiana. The Fever endured a historically abysmal first quarter, scoring just six points—tied for the fourth-fewest in franchise history. Phoenix capitalized on the cold stretch, racing out to an early 16-point advantage behind sharp execution.

However, the tide turned dramatically thanks to Indiana’s explosive core. Led by Caitlin Clark, who anchored the offense with 24 points, with 3 make three-points, and 9 assists, the Fever completely flipped the script. Alongside Clark, Kelsey Mitchell provided a crucial scoring punch with 22 points, while Aliyah Boston anchored the interior with 8 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. This high-powered performance completely erased the early deficit and it was tied at 41 entering the second half.

The intensity reached a boiling point in a chaotic fourth quarter. A physical, drawn-out final period erupted into a chippy scuffle that saw six technical fouls handed out between the two teams. Tensions flared so high that Indiana’s Myisha Hines-Allen was ejected after picking up her second technical foul. Ultimately, the Fever weathered the storm, proving their resilience after a rocky start.

Fullgame Highlights;

Both team don’t have to wait long for a rematch, since they’ll face again this Wednesday night.

Dream’s Angel Reese Clinches Rare Win Over Caitlin Clark Despite Big 3 Outburst and ‘Caitlin 1’ Debut (108 -101)

June 19, 2026

The rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese added a thrilling new chapter during a high-stakes showdown between the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream. In a dramatic, high-scoring battle, the Dream walked away with a tight 108-101 victory. For Reese—who joined Atlanta earlier in the 2026 season—this marked a rare and massive head-to-head victory over Clark, breaking a dominant stretch of head-to-head wins by the Fever guard.

Despite the loss, Indiana’s “Big 3” put on an absolute clinic. With Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell firing on all cylinders, the Fever stayed highly competitive throughout the entire game, proving why they are one of the most dangerous trios in the league. Together, the three stars accounted for 75 of Indiana’s 101 total points. Clark led the way with 26 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds, while Mitchell matched her with 26 points of her own. Meanwhile, Boston anchored the paint, stuffing the stat sheet with 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks.

However, the Atlanta Dream countered with an elite, balanced attack where all five starters scored in double digits. The charge was led by Reese, who anchored the paint with 21 points and 11 rebounds on 8-of-14 shooting to secure her 10th double-double of the season. Alongside her, Jordin Canada orchestrated the offense seamlessly to push the pace, finishing with 18 points. Rhyne Howard provided the crucial backcourt execution to close out the fourth quarter, delivering 16 points and 6 assists while hitting critical, back-to-back buckets late to stifle the Fever’s comeback.

Adding to the historic and play-off athmosphere of the night, the game served as the official on-court debut of Clark’s highly anticipated first signature sneaker, the Nike Caitlin 1. While the Dream spoiled the Clark’s sneaker maiden voyage, the combination of elite hoops, a rare Reese victory, and fresh sneaker history made this an unforgettable night for women’s basketball.

Game Highlights;

Both team will face again this Saturday afternoon in State Farm Arena.

Knicks complete record rally from 29 points down and beat Spurs 107-106 for 3-1 NBA Finals lead  

June 11, 2026

ESPN:

The New York Knicks made a record comeback from 29 points down and moved to the brink of their first championship since 1973 by beating the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 on Wednesday night.

OG Anunoby tipped in the miss of Jalen Brunson’s long 3-point attempt with 1.2 seconds remaining to complete the rally, giving the Knicks a 3-1 lead and three chances to win the championship.

Spurs had this in the bag, they could never miss a 3-points in the first half and built a 29 point lead, the Spur had a 27 point lead entering the 3rd then the Spurs started missing their outside shot and the Knicks erases the lead and made it to a 15 point game in the 4th and that’s where everything fell apart for the Spurs.

Game Highlights;

To say this is the “Greatest Comeback in NBA Finals History!” would be an understatement.

The Spurs still has a chance to redeem themselves as they go back to San Antonio for Game 5 this Saturday evening.

June 9, 2026

Robin Lundberg, reporting for SI;

Caitlin Clark hit the shot that she and the Indiana Fever had to have. The Fever lost a 17-point lead and found themselves down one with 4.3 seconds remaining—enter Clark.

Clark nailed a 31-foot three-pointer from the left wing, leaving the Mystics with just 1.2 seconds on the clock. Indiana was able to hold on the other end to secure a much-needed victory, and avoid another bad loss after being in front, like what happened against the New York Liberty in their last game.

Victor Wembanyama carries Spurs to 115-111 win that cuts Knicks’ NBA Finals lead to 2-1  

June 9, 2026

ESPN;

Victor Wembanyama has his first NBA Finals win — and the New York Knicks suddenly have a lot of work left to end their 53-year championship drought.

Wembanyama had 32 points, eight rebounds and six assists, carrying the San Antonio Spurs to a 115-111 victory Monday night that cut the Knicks’ lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

San Antonio is trying to make a first-of-its-kind NBA Finals comeback, and the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama, with his array of skills, makes anything look possible.

I’m not sure if it was the environment or that the US President was in the audience made the atmosphere in MSG a little difference than usual.

Here’s the final 4:50 of the game;

The Spurs defeat the Knicks, 115-111. The Spurs were led by the 32 points and 8 rebounds and 6 assists from Victor Wembanyama, while Stephon Castle also added 23 points. The Knicks were led by Jalen Brunson, who had 32 points and 5 rebounds and 5 assists. The Knicks lead the series 2-1

LeBron James faces new ultimatum after Lakers prioritize Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves  

June 7, 2026

Tyler Watts, reporting for Lake Show Life;

The Los Angeles Lakers are forcing LeBron James to choose between taking a pay cut and finding a new team. The franchise is prioritizing a long-term deal for Austin Reaves in free agency. They are building around Luka Doncic and want AR to be his co-star for years to come. In the NBA’s current cap landscape, it is unrealistic to have three max contracts. LeBron will have to sacrifice or find a new home.

I guess that “The Lakers take care of their superstars.” does not apply with Lebron’s situation. Lebron will either go to another team that’s ready to pay him or take a massive paycut to stay with the Lakers.

The New York Liberty secured a hard-fought 83-75 victory over the Indiana Fever at the Barclays Center, shaking up the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup standings.

The Fever ignited early with high-tempo offense, snapping up a 25-21 first-quarter lead behind dominant paint play from Aliyah Boston—who climbed to third on Indiana’s all-time rebounding list—and a season-high 15 points and 8 rebounds from Monique Billings. Kelsey Mitchell paced the offense with 21 points with 7 rebounds, while Caitlin Clark battled through defensive pressure to keep Indiana ahead through the third quarter, with her 10 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.

However, the fourth quarter belonged to New York. The Liberty’s veteran poise wore down Indiana’s defense, capitalizing heavily on execution and drawing fouls to sink a decisive 33 free throws down the stretch. Breanna Stewart scored 30 points and 8 rebounds, and lead the Liberty with her steady multi-position impact and Jonquel Jones anchors inside with her 12 rebounds and 1 block, New York’s aggressive final frame overwhelmed the Fever, locking down a gritty home win.

ICYMI: Towns, Knicks put Spurs on ropes, lead 2-0 in NBA Finals  

June 7, 2026

Vincent Goodwill, reporting for ESPN;

Karl-Anthony Towns has been where Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs are now: a talented bunch that is trying to get over the hump but keeps making errors to land in impossible situations.

Towns’ experience, forged through some recent playoff failures, seems to be driving the bus for the New York Knicks, who held off a late surge by the Spurs on Friday night for a 105-104 win in Game 2 at Frost Bank Center and a 2-0 series lead in the NBA Finals.

That was a costly turnover by Wemby after a Jalen Brunson miss and a “potential game winning play” for the Spurs.

Going back to MSG with a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals, the atmosphere will be bonkers and ticket prices will surely cost a kidney and a liver.
