- Team Spoon shines! This is The Sports Reset for Sunday, July 26th. In WNBA All-Star action, Team Spoon beat Team Coop 129 to 122 in Chicago, with Jonquel Jones putting up 22 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists on her way to MVP. Caitlin Clark added 17, Team Spoon had eight double-figure scorers, and the United Center crowd gave the league’s 30th-season showcase a real big-event feel. In UFC, Magomed Ankalaev stopped Bogdan Guskov in the fifth round of their light heavyweight main event, leaning on wrestling and ground strikes late after a slow first three rounds. In ATP tennis, Quentin Halys took the Generali Open final from top-seeded Alexander Bublik in straight sets. In MLB, the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the New York Mets 4 to 3 behind Kyle Tucker’s homer and six one-run innings from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, while the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3 to 1. Looking ahead, Formula 1 has the Hungarian Grand Prix, with Lando Norris starting from pole after beating Lewis Hamilton by just twelve thousandths in qualifying, and Hamilton dropping to fifth after a grid penalty. In NASCAR, the Cup Series is at Indianapolis, where Carson Hocevar starts up front after winning his first Brickyard 400 pole, with Daniel Suarez beside him and Tyler Reddick third. In golf, Jackson Koivun carries a three-shot lead into the final round of the PGA 3M Open after a 10-under 61, while Jenny Shin starts the day five clear at the LPGA Women’s Scottish Open. In MLB, the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets run it back at Citi Field, and the New York Yankees close their series with the Philadelphia Phillies. Off the field, the New England Patriots have reportedly offered Christian Gonzalez a deal that would make him the highest-paid cornerback in football and the richest player in franchise history.
