Game notes and more:

  • The Mystics (13-13) are half a game up on the Valkyries (12-13) for the eighth and final WNBA playoff spot. There’s still a lot of season left to play, but this is the Mystics’ biggest game of the season so far.
  • This game is the Mystics’ fourth in six days. Check out my recent column about the WNBA scheduling crunch and what the players’ union should do to address the issue.
