Washington Mystics - English
WNBA - English
You never expect to see Titanic reenacted in the middle of a WNBA game, but here we are.
Moments after a gutting 83-75 loss to the Mystics, Angel Reese and Brittney Sykes embraced in a pose that had people on social media comparing it to the iconic “I’m flying!” scene from Titanic. Arms outstretched, smiles on their faces – for a split second, it looked like they had won together, not against each other.
Angel Reese startled by triple-double celebration
Then Reese herself added fuel to the moment’s virality. “I’m actually so dead cause what were we doing here?????” she posted on X, tagging Sykes and laughing along with everyone else. The internet ate it up.
But that hug? It might’ve stung a bit more than expected for Chicago fans.
Chicago’s Collapse, Sykes’ Show, and a Trade That Wasn’t
Because Sykes wasn’t just a postgame BFF. She was the problem. The veteran guard dropped 32 points on 13-of-24 shooting, leading Washington back from a 12-point halftime deficit and snapping their three-game skid.
That third quarter? A full-on ambush. The Mystics opened with an 18-4 run and outscored the Sky 24-12 in the frame, flipping the game on its head. Sykes set the tone with the first four points and never let up.
Meanwhile, Chicago – and Reese – were left scrambling.
The rookie finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, but also committed 7 turnovers.“That’s on me,”Reese said postgame. “I’m trying to make the right plays, but I’ve got to be better.”
Chicago leads the league in turnovers (16.6 per game), and a lot of that weight falls on Reese, who’s now functioning more as a point-forward. That shift comes with upside… and learning curves. According to The Athletic, Reese’s usage rate has jumped nearly 30% compared to her LSU days.

Still, she’s showing flashes. That’s not the problem. The real issue? No one else is stepping up when it matters.
Kamilla Cardoso added 18 and 10, but Chicago couldn’t stop the bleeding. And it doesn’t help that fans are left wondering what if. What if they’d traded for Sykes – a move that was reportedly on the table earlier this year?
Instead, the Mystics have the firestarter. And the Sky? They’ve got a meme and a mess to clean up.

Dodgers delay plans to help local immigrants amid California ICE raids after federal agents denied entry
The Los Angeles Dodgers put off an announcement for plans to help local immigrants in light of recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids after federal agents were denied entry into stadium parking lots earlier Thursday."Because of the events earlier today, we continue to work with groups that were involved with our programs," team president Stan Kasten said in a statement Thursday night. "But we are going to have to delay today's announcement while we firm up some more details. We'll get back to you soon with the timing." ICE raids have swept through Southern California over the last several weeks at the orders of President Donald Trump, who has called on officials to "do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest mass deportation program in history." The raids have been met with local […]

2025 FIFA Club World Cup standings, table: Bayern Munich vs. Boca Juniors, Chelsea vs. Flamengo live stream
The best teams in the world are in the United States this summer as the FIFA Club World Cup brings teams together, from the reigning Champions League champions Paris Saint-Germain to the only amateur side in the competition in Auckland City FC from New Zealand. Lionel Messi and Inter Miami kicked off the competition on June 14, with a 0-0 draw against Al Ahly of Egypt, with every team gunning for a place in the final on July 13 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. With prizes worth one billion dollars on the line, teams like Al-Hilal have been looking to load up for this tournament, but only time will tell if things like bringing in Simone Inzaghi will be able to break the hold that Europe and Brazil have had on this tournament. It will be a wild […]
Luis Suárez passa em branco no Inter Miami e internautas relembram passagem pelo Brasil: “No Grêmio não perderia”
Luis Suárez está no Inter Miami desde o fim de 2023 | Foto: Rich Storry/GettyImages O centroavante uruguaio, que jogou nesta quinta-feira (19), perdeu um gol cara a cara com o goleiro, na partida contra o Porto, no Mundial A passagem de Luis Suárez com a camisa do Grêmio é inesquecível na memória do torcedor tricolor até hoje. Ter o melhor jogador do Brasileirão na campanha do vice-campeonato de 2023 faz a torcida recordar e ressaltar o uruguaio, mesmo quando ele vive um momento individual inferior ao futebol de alto nível que já mostrou na carreira.
