No sleep, coffee, latte, another coffee

🏒 PWHL: Montréal Victoire vs. Ottawa Charge — Tonight at 6 p.m. ET — ION

• The Victoire (up 2-0) are just one win away from hoisting the franchise’s first-ever Walter Cup, but sweeping the Charge in this best-of-five set won’t be easy — Ottawa’s undefeated at home this postseason and desperate for a dub.

🏒 NHL: Montreal Canadiens vs. Buffalo Sabres — Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET — ESPN

• The Sabres rallied for an 8–3 Game 6 victory on Saturday to keep their playoff hopes alive and force Game 7 in this conference semifinal, but the youth-powered Habs have seen this film before: They’ve already stolen one series-deciding win on the road this postseason.

🏀 NBA: San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder — Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET — NBC

• OKC superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a two-time MVP, becoming the first Canadian to win back-to-back since Steve Nash. Now, SGA’s Thunder host the hooper coming for his crown next year — Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama — in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

🏀 NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. NY Knicks — Tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET — ESPN

• There’s no rest for the Cavs after last night’s lopsided Game 7 win because the Eastern Conference Finals begin in earnest tomorrow. On the flip side, the Knicks haven’t played high-stakes hoops in seven days: Will that well-earned break leave them rusty or refreshed?

🤝 If this pre-season has taught us anything, it’s to trust the journey. The road to game time is paved with pivots, plot twists, and possibilities, and the 2026 Toyota RAV4 can tackle all of the above.

• 🚦 Primed for Anything: Equipped with all-wheel drive and all-terrain tires.

• 🚘 Pulls Its Weight: Tows up to 3500 pounds without breaking a sweat.

• 🎒 Ready for Every Plan: Features over 70 cubic feet (!!!) of cargo space with the second row folded down.

Start your new season right with an SUV that can tackle whatever the season throws at it. Vroom, vroom.

The GIST: Nearly two weeks in, this WNBA season is already a parity party. In fact, no undefeated teams remain. There’s still plenty of hoops to be played, but here’s our unofficial power rankings heading into Week 3, plus one lingering question.

🥇 Las Vegas Aces: After an inauspicious season opener, the Aces have returned to form: They’ve rattled off four straight wins, the most impressive coming yesterday when they held off the Atlanta Dream’s fourth-quarter surge for an 85–84 W. And that’s on a good education.

🥈 Atlanta Dream: Yesterday’s nail-biting loss was the Dream’s first, but it reiterated that this team is one of the W’s deepest. Certified bucket Allisha Gray is averaging an impressive 25 points per game, and her supporting cast of Angel Reese, Jordin Canada, and Te-Hina Paopao is top-tier, too.

🥉 Golden State Valkyries: Yes, the Valks’ only loss was ugly. That blip aside, this team has shown it can score. Already a defensive juggernaut with Veronica Burton and Gabby Williams, they’ve put up at least 90 points in two of three games, a feat they managed just six times total in 2025.

☝️ One lingering question — are the Washington Mystics legit?: The youngest team in the league is red-hot after beating the title-contending Indiana Fever Friday and taking the NY Liberty to overtime last Sunday. The ’Stics’ roster averages less than a year of W experience, but that hasn’t fazed them.

• Their early success can be traced to their do-it-all trio — 25-year-old Shakira Austin and second-year stars Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron. The next test awaits tonight at 8 p.m. ET vs. another youth-driven offense in the Paige Bueckers–led Dallas Wings. Buckets, loading.

Every ball knower has their rituals, and the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid has something for every fan. Here’s to the ones who: 

• ☀️ Plan their summer travel around away games.

• 🎵 Blast jock jams on the ride to the stadium.

• 📱 Convince the whole group chat to join the fun.

Sound familiar? Whether you’re a pre-game roadtripper, hype-starter, or planner, the Toyota RAV4 brings you where you need to go.
