'team at last is playing well fake news?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'team at last is playing well' is the wordplay.
'at last' says to take the final letters.
'playing well' becomes 'inform' (I've seen this before).
The final letter of 'team' is 'm'.
'm'+'is'+'inform'='MISINFORM'
