Sonia Citron secured the win with two free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining.

Sutton scored 12 points for the Mystics (7-8) and Kiki Iriafen added 11 points and 11 rebounds. Citron finished 3 of 13 from the field for nine points, ending her streak of double-figure games to start her career at 14.

The Best Tunnel Fits From The 2025-'26 WNBA Season: Week 4
Courtesy of Instagram Caitlin Clark is back for Week 4, and so is the chaotic energy she brings. On Diana Taurasi's birthday, no less, the queen of the technical foul brought her full energy to the court in spirit, igniting multiple scuffles, including two that involved Clark herself. But while the fights stole headlines, the fits held their own. Although, the fights of the week lingered in memory of every social post, so did the style. The outfits this week centered color, structured and form-fitting silhouettes, and a more polished, almost formal vibe—a noticeable shift from the laid-back norm. Below, we've added our favorite looks from week 4 from inside the tunnel of the WNBA. Arriving in style 🔥The Sky are looking for their first Commissioner's Cup win as they take on the Dream at 7-30pm-ET on ION!WNBA Commissioner's Cup presented by @coinbase Courtesy of Instagram Ms. Triple-Double is doing damage on the court, and before she even steps on to it. In a recent TikTok, Angel Reese casually declared, 'Today we are not wearing a suit,' and honestly, it's a refreshing switch-up. And for someone who claims she 'never knows what she's wearing,' we're more than happy to fill in the details. Reese pairs clear, open-toe GCDS heels with matching transparent Chanel sunglasses, rounding out the look with a tonal palette: a light grey cropped utility jacket featuring a curved front zipper, and high-waisted, wide-leg parachute pants with exaggerated ruching. The @valkyries and @la_sparks pull up for Cup action 👑These teams are dead even at 1-1... who's breaking the tie tonightLeague Pass - 10pm-ET - WNBA Commissioner's Cup presented by @coinbase (2) Courtesy of Instagram Tiffany Hayes can do no wrong when it comes to style, and it's showing in this very look. This three piece leather suit is equipped with a brown-work zip-up jacket, vest, and baggy pants. Dare I say this looks go down in the history as one of the best tunnel fits because it's so unequivocally her. She pairs this hefty leather piece with a light and airy button up and chocolate tie. Tunnel arrivals stay undefeated 📸 Which Week 4 fit hit different (3) Brandon Todd/New York Liberty Breanna Stewart steps out of her comfort zone and her usual silhouette of blazer, pants, and sneakers. This week, she opts for something much more fluid—literally—wearing aqua Pleats Please Issey Miyake pants paired with a teal cotton polo shirt. And, surprisingly, no bag? Maddy Westbeld — Chicago Sky Tunnel arrivals stay undefeated 📸 Which Week 4 fit hit different (2) Courtesy of Instagram There's something irresistible about what you can't have, and for many basketball players, that's a 9-to-5 corporate job. So instead, they dress the part, free from any actual dress code. Westbeld donns the look nearly every week: office-core with a touch of siren. One fit pairs a loose blue button-down, top buttons undone, with slouchy denim shorts and a soft grey trench coat. Tina Charles — Connecticut Sun Tunnel arrivals stay undefeated 📸 Which Week 4 fit hit different (1) Courtesy of Instagram Pressed and primmed, Tina Charles is serving full professional in this back-of-house-inspired French fit. She wears the AWET New York Hermon jacket, paired with puffed and pleated black trousers and glossy pleather Chelsea boot Aliyah Boston — Indiana Fever Tunnel arrivals stay undefeated 📸 Which Week 4 fit hit different Courtesy of Instagram It's more workwear, but coming from Aliyah Boston, it hits a little differently. Known for her go-to jeans and tube tops or bodycon dresses, Boston switches it up with a sleeveless peplum top featuring a half-moon neckline, tailored black trousers, and a structured leather bag. A quiet shift, but a noticeable one. Paige Bueckers — Dallas Wings Courtesy of Instagram It's been a minute since we've seen Paige Bueckers in the tunnel—she'd been out sick—but now she's back, and with more elevated look than usual. Swapping out her go-to denim shorts, but keeping her jersey, she steps into a NAHMIAS Knit 24 Basketball Jersey in black, paired with crisp white tailored pants and black loafers. It's on-theme and maybe a bit on-the-nose—but it works. She finishes the look with a black Coach Soft Empire Carryall Bag 48, customized with 'Paige-ified' charms and embellishments that add a personal touch to the polished fit.

Movie Review: F1® THE MOVIE
Kids, I have to admit something. I'm a shameless sports movie fan. Add a weepy ending, and I'll see a flick multiple times. Well, F1® The Movie hits theaters this week, combining not just one, but two of my favorite things. I fell hard for Formula 1 more than a decade ago and still love it. Is this highbrow sports movie on pace to win the championship? Or is this set for a 'DNF' at the box office? Read on. F1® The Movie F1® The Movie follows Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a journeyman driver recruited by an old friend (Javier Bardem) to lead a struggling Formula One team. There are only two problems. The car is a beast, and the team's B driver (Damson Idris) is young, headstrong and desperately in need of mentoring. Kerry Condon and Tobias Menzies costar in the film. Joseph Kosinski directs F1® The Movie from a script by Ehren Kruger. Friends, sometimes a movie comes along that leaves you stumped. It leaves you scratching your head, wondering just how to interpret it. RELATED: Movie Review: Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning – Spoiler Review International readers, please don't judge us too harshly, but despite the best efforts of this Jenson Button fangirl, Formula One remains a fairly niche sport here in the United States. That's my long way of saying, F1® The Movie, surprisingly, is less of a racing movie and more of a Formula One film, and everything that entails. Kosinski showed audiences how good he is with action sequences while directing Top Gun: Maverick . I was intrigued. Kosinski directing F1 racing sequences in IMAX? Count me in. RELATED: Bring Her Back Spoiler Review Inside Baseball Truthfully, the impressive racing sequences aren't taken as far as they can go. Racing takes a back seat to the F1 world and all its complexities. We hear about tire strategies, we see aerodynamic engineering, DRS and there's so much about FIA rules. So much. This is all to say that F1® The Movie is very 'Inside Baseball.' It goes without saying that fans of the sport are certain to enjoy this one. Luckily, the film spent a lot of time shooting in and around the Grand Prix circuit. This is sure to be candy for F1 fans. It's fan fiction in the best way possible, thanks to the dozens of familiar names and faces who will be instantly recognizable to anyone following Formula One. With all this being said, though, I really struggle to see the joy here for non-F1 people. Even the racing sequences are structured less like an action film and more like Formula One TV coverage or a video game. Don't get me wrong, there are racing sequences, but I was left wanting more — especially with all the emphasis the film's marketing placed on IMAX. If you have Abu Dhabi and Las Vegas at your disposal for nighttime races, use them. Wow me. Unfortunately, it's never quite as impressive as it realistically could be. RELATED: Movie Review: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina A Change of Pace Switching gears, F1® The Movie brings Brad Pitt a very interesting change of pace. The actor is one of the few remaining old-school 'movie stars.' You go to a 'Brad Pitt movie.' He's identifiable across the generations. In Pitt's hands, Sonny Hayes is a gritty and grizzled old driver, and there's a very real sense that the sun is going down on his story. As I watched, I found myself immediately reminded of films like True Grit and The Shootist from the late 1960s and early 1970s. These movies came as the sun set on John Wayne's career. At that time, the once dynamic action movie lead was moving a little slower, and there was the very real feeling that he wasn't quite the main character in these stories anymore. This was a man whose action movie days were behind him. The world he knew had passed him by. RELATED: Movie Review: The Phoenician Scheme While Pitt isn't quite in the same stage of life as Wayne in those classic films, there's a similar sense of melancholy at play here. This feels like a change for Pitt. There's a sense of self-awareness that his star persona needs to transition, and he's beginning to embrace his inner grizzled old man. Give those of us who remember Legends of the Fall your thoughts during this difficult time. Melodrama The main issue plaguing F1® The Movie , though, revolves around Kruger's script. For much of the movie, the story is comfortable with its easy, almost slice-of-life narrative. As mentioned, this is Formula One fan fiction. However, as the movie slides into act three, it suddenly veers sharply into melodramatic territory. We all know sports movies. Melodrama is not a rarity in this genre. However, the emotional plot twist happens so late into this two and a half hour movie that it hardly feels needed. The stakes feel manufactured, and by that point in the story, the twist serves only to distract from this interesting world. RELATED: Movie Review: Materialists When all is said and done, I'm going to be watching with interest how F1® The Movie does this weekend. I'm struggling to write this review because friends, I am biased. I'm a Formula 1 fangirl going back more than a decade. However, I am also a realist. F1® The Movie looks on the surface to be a racing film, when in truth, it's an F1 movie with all the 'inside baseball' rules and jargon that come with it. I can't say that F1® The Movie will be an easy sit for those not well-versed in Formula One; however, you never know, try it out and you might be a fan. F1® The Movie opens in theaters around the country on June 27, 2025. 28 YEARS LATER Spoiler Review

Real Madrid expect David Alaba to miss Club World Cup after fresh injury
Real Madrid expect defender David Alaba to miss the remainder of the Club World Cup after he suffered a fresh injury set-back. Alaba, 33, underwent assessments which revealed an injury to his left calf muscle and the club anticipate he will be sidelined for around three weeks. The Austria international has missed Madrid's opening three Club World Cup group stage fixtures as he continues his recovery from a meniscus injury in his left knee that he sustained in April. Advertisement He is yet to be named in a matchday squad at the tournament in the United States but was expected to be able to play a part in the latter stages before his latest set-back. Injury restricted Alaba to just 14 appearances across all competitions during the 2024-25 campaign after returning from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in January. He then suffered a meniscus injury in April that required minor surgery, ruling him out of the remainder of the campaign. The defender was also limited to 17 appearances in all competitions the campaign before after suffering an ACL injury in December 2023. Madrid beat Red Bull Salzburg in their final Club World Cup group game on Thursday and will play Juventus in the last-16 on Tuesday.
