Let’s just say that this game was for all the Mystics’ naysayers out there. Washington has a young team that few would be willing to use. Washington was behind 38-29 at the half, even with the Mystics shooting somewhat better in the first half percentage wise.
In the third quarter, the bottom fell out for the Mystics as the Wings outscored them 28-17 in the period with Dallas shooting nearly 60 percent for the period. Both teams
shot well over 50 percent in the fourth quarter, but by then, the Wings had this game in hand.
