Game 3 of the WNBA Playoffs semifinals will be Friday, August 31 at 8 p.m. ET at Charles Smith Center, George Washington University. The contest will be simulcast on WNBATV and ESPN2.
On Tuesday night at McCamish Pavilion, the Atlanta Dream used a sold-out arena to even the series against the Washington Mystics.
The Dream were down 0-1 in a best-of-five series against the Mystics, who are the hottest team in the league. In game 1, the Dream couldn’t find any momentum on offense, losing 87-84 at home on Sunday. Their ace shooter, Tiffany Hayes, was cold for most of the night.
Atlanta is also clearly missing Angel McCoughtry, who is out for the season after sustaining a knee injury earlier this month.

You probably know them from the constant coverage they get on Fox News. They’re down-home opining of President Trump’s successes and putdowns of the Obama administration have raised plenty of eyebrows. Now the Diamond and Silk Chit Chat Live Tour is coming to Marietta, Georgia.
The event is going to be held on Sunday, October 7, 2018 in Cobb County, a Republican stronghold. The area comprising the 6th District has elected GOP leaders such as Newt Gingrich, Tom Price and Karen Handel.
Diamond and Silk Chit Chat Live Tour Heads To Marietta
Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond) and Rochelle Richardson (Silk), rose to fame during the 2016 presidential election by being outspoken live-stream video bloggers and social media personalities who bashed Hillary Clinton. They have met and shared the stage with Trump, their apparent idol and hope to build support for their unique brand of politics.
The duo hope to play an even bigger role in the 2020 election as Trump has often praised them (among others) in helping to bring him African-American support.

On opening night of the 2018 BronzeLens Film Festival, movie lovers were treated to a feast of the senses with a series of independent films. About 70 people crammed into an intimate screening room at the Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta for the event, dubbed “All Shorts, All Night,” which was hosted by BET Networks.The matriarch for the evening was Atlanta film maven Khalimah Gaston, the creator of Screening Room ATL.The first film shown “Black Korea,” delves into domestic abuse and plight of Korean women who married African-American soldiers in the aftermath of the Korean War.Set in the 1980s, the film follows two children who are dropped off at the home of their grandmother on the Southside of Chicago.Shot in Atlanta, the film stars actors Jason Weaver, Jenne Kang, Erica Watson and Bella Gill, the daughter of the movie’s creator, Patti Kim Gill. It is the elder Gill’s life that was the inspiration for the film. Her Korean mother left her at her grandmother’s home in Chicago when she was just a child.
The screening was well represented by the movie’s makers. In addition to Gill, producer and casting director Genia Nooks was there as well.Bolstering the film screenings this year is BronzeLens’ freshly minted status as an Academy Awards qualifying festival for short films.Other films that will be screened during the week include select st “Jinn,” a short featuring Zoe Renee of “The Quad,” with Simone Missick from “Luke Cage”; “Isoken,” the Nigerian romantic comedy and the Atlanta-filmed BET miniseries “The Bobby Brown Story.”
