Postseason hopes weren’t on the table for either the Washington Mystics or the Connecticut Sun in their matchup to close the regular season last night. The Sun ended the Mystics regular season with a loss, resulting in a disappointed vibe that resonated from the stands to the locker room.

The Washington Mystics took everything they worked on in practice and executed it on the defensive end. Outside of an early slip off a pick-and-roll that led to an easy bucket for Imani Boyette, the Mystics really shored up their defense in those situations. Dolson got things going early, scoring 7 of the team’s first 9 points before leaving due... Read More

The Phoenix Mercury had lost their identity, coming into this game at 4-9. Unfortunately for the streaking Mystics, Phoenix found it early in this one.
