The Storm blew out the Aces, 92-59, to sweep the WNBA Finals and emerge as Queens of the "Wubble" 92 days after players first arrived in Florida.

• The big picture: This is the fourth title for the Storm (2004, 2010, 2018, 2020), tying them with the Houston Comets (1997–2000) and Minnesota Lynx (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017) for most all-time.

• Finals MVP: Breanna Stewart won in 2018 and again this year. Overall this postseason, she averaged 25.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists.
• Worth noting: While NBA teams played most of their games under normal circumstances this winter, WNBA teams spent the entire season in the bubble. That makes the Storm's title unique and gives it even more of a college feel.

What they're saying: Sue Bird, who turns 40 in nine days, was feeling sentimental postgame: "Being younger, you talk about being in the moment and you don't even know what that means. But as an older player, I fully understand," she told ESPN.

The big picture: Social justice was the bedrock of the Wubble, and WNBA players took perhaps the strongest political stance of any league when they urged people to vote against Atlanta Dream owner Kelly Loeffler in her senate race after she questioned the league's support of Black Lives Matter.

"A league of women, a league of Black women, a league of gay women. We're kind of checking off all these boxes of people that just get left behind ... And so who better to stand up and speak about these issues than those who it directly affects?"

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Anthony Davis (22 pts, 9 reb, 4 blk) and LeBron James (28 pts, 12 reb, 8 ast) powered L.A. to a 102-96 win and have the Lakers within one game of the franchise's 17th championship.

• What's next: This is the 36th time a team has fallen behind 3-1 in the NBA Finals. Of the previous 35, only one team has come back — James' 2016 Cavaliers. Game 5 is Friday.
• Wild stat: The Lakers are 56-0 when leading after three quarters (best in NBA history) and the 2018 Cavs were 50-1 (fourth-best). That means in LeBron's last two full seasons, his teams are 106-1 when leading after three quarters.

PARIS — After more than five hours of play, Argentina's Diego Schwartzman rallied past U.S. Open champion Dominic Thiem, 7-6 (1), 5-7, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (5), 6-2, to reach the first Grand Slam semifinal of his career.

• Next up: He'll face Rafael Nadal, who withstood an early challenge from 19-year-old Jannik Sinner and improved to 98-2 in French Open matches. 98-2!!!

The top opportunities to increase revenue in the sports industry are through enhancing the digital media fan experience and creating and monetizing digital assets, according to a survey of 780 sports industry leaders conducted by PwC.

• The top threats to revenues are the impact of health and safety crises and reduced financial resources to invest/innovate — both byproducts of the global pandemic.

Four neutral ballparks in Texas and California are hosting the remainder of the MLB postseason. Let's meet them, Axios' Jeff Tracy writes...

Globe Life Field (Arlington, Texas): Hosting the NLDS (Dodgers vs. Padres), NLCS and World Series.

• Year opened: 2020. And with MLB selling 11,500 tickets per game for the NLCS and World Series, that means the first fans at the Rangers' new ballpark won't even see the Rangers play.
• Fun fact: At 16.8 miles from City Hall, it's by far the most suburban of MLB's new ballparks.

• Notable 2020 moment: Slam Diego was born here, and the tired argument about unwritten rules (hopefully) died here. The Padres entered their first game here at 11-12, but exploded for 14 runs including Fernando Tatís Jr.'s grand slam heard round the world. They went 26-11 the rest of the way.
• Park factors: It ranks dead last in terms of being hitter-friendly, which could neutralize both the Dodgers' (MLB-best 118 HR) and Padres' (95 HR) power.

Petco Park (San Diego): Hosting the ALDS (Yankees vs. Rays) and ALCS.

• Year opened: 2004
• Fun fact: Construction hit a snag when they were unable to knock down the vacant Western Metal Supply Co. building, a historic landmark. Instead, they got permission to renovate and feature it in the park's design, as it greets any HR hit to left field and houses the team store, a restaurant and suites.
• Notable 2020 moment: Slam Diego, part two. In a four-game, home-and-home series with the Rangers, the Padres set a record with grand slams in four consecutive games, the third of which was a walk-off.
• Park factors: Thanks to its downtown location, lucky fans in neighboring buildings can step out on their balconies and get a pretty nice view into the park from on high.

Dodger Stadium (L.A.): Hosting the ALDS (Astros vs. A's).

• Year opened: 1962.
• Fun fact: It's the third-oldest stadium in MLB behind Fenway Park (1912) and Wrigley Field (1914).
• Notable 2020 moment: On Sept. 3, Clayton Kershaw recorded his 2,500th career strikeout. He's one of just 39 pitchers (11 lefties) to accomplish the feat.
• Park factors: It's normally a top 10 hitter-friendly park, but as the weather gets colder, the cooler ocean air in L.A. will keep more balls in the yard.

Minute Maid Park (Houston): Hosting the NLDS (Braves vs. Marlins).

• Year opened: 2000
• Fun facts: It's no longer there, but I always laugh thinking about the hill and flagpole that used to be in center field. Otherwise, it's got to be the train beyond left field, always ready for a celebratory ride. Well, not always — it was active during the season, but not the NLDS.
• Notable 2020 moment: The Dodgers came to town in July for the first time since the sign-stealing scandal broke, and the series did not disappoint.
• Park factors: It boasts one of the strangest outfields in baseball, with a sort of mini Green Monster in left (315 feet away, 19 feet high) that juts way out into the field, leaving a cavernous power alley in the left-center gap.

As expected, the Rangers selected Canadian winger Alexis Lafrenière with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NHL draft.

• Quinton Byfield of Canada was taken No. 2 overall by the Kings, making him the highest-drafted Black player in NHL history.

• Alex Trebek, the legendary "Jeopardy!" host and a graduate of the University of Ottawa, announced the Senators' No. 3 pick. So good.
• 19 Canadians were chosen in the first round, matching the 2003 draft for the most in the past 32 years.

• 🏈 92.8 QBR: Aaron Rodgers' 92.8 Total QBR is the highest ever through four games since QBR was first tracked in 2006. Second and third on the list are Peyton Manning (2013) and Tom Brady (2007), both of whom won MVP and set the NFL record for TD passes in those seasons.
• ⚽️ 1 of 9: Former USWNT coach Jill Ellis has launched a new initiative to address the gender gap in top-flight soccer coaching. 15 of the 24 teams in last year's Women's World Cup were coached by men, and just one of the NWSL's nine teams currently has a female head coach.
• 🏁 No. 48: When seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson retires at the end of the season, 27-year-old Alex Bowman will replace him in the iconic No. 48 Chevrolet — the most coveted seat in NASCAR.

Craig Carton was a wildly popular New York City radio personality for years as co-host (with former NFL QB Boomer Esiason) of "Boomer and Carton."

• But it all came crashing down thanks to a blackjack addiction, which resulted in him serving over a year in prison for multiple felonies.

• Carton's rise and fall is chronicled in a new documentary "Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth," which debuts tonight on HBO (9pm ET).

My 10-second review: I probably enjoyed this more than the average person given I grew up in New Jersey and listened to Craig all the time. But it's a fun watch filled with truly absurd stories (think: all-nighters in Atlantic City, losing millions in a single night, then walking into work like nothing happened).

Watch the trailer.

104 years ago today, Georgia Tech beat Cumberland College, 222-0, in the most lopsided game in college football history.

The mismatch:

• Georgia Tech was a national powerhouse at the time. The Yellow Jackets were coached by John Heisman and went on to win the 1917 national title.
• Cumberland College (Lebanon, Tennessee) had shut down its football program that spring, but when Heisman insisted they honor their scheduling agreement, they were forced to put a team together mostly from scratch.

By the numbers:

• Georgia Tech put up at least 42 points in every quarter (63, 63, 54 and 42), scored 32 touchdowns and averaged 17.3 yards per play (all rushes).
• Cumberland committed 15 turnovers (nine fumbles lost, six interceptions), did not gain a first down, and finished with negative-28 total yards.

Fun fact: Heisman coached football, baseball and basketball at Georgia Tech, and his running up the score in this game was reportedly an act of revenge against Cumberland's baseball team, which had run up the score against Tech, 22-0.
