Mystics with a run in the second quarter to go up after being down 7 in the first quarter.

Mystics with good defense and rebounding during that run. They will need more of that in the second half.

I actually watched the last few minutes of the 4th and overtime and it was entertaining.

Overtime win
Career high in scoring from Sonia & Kiki
That was exciting.

For everyone who missed this Sonia shot at the end of the game. It was after the game clock but it was still nice to see her hit it.

Angel Reese is laughably bad at basketball except for rebounding and defense to be fair.

Man, I really, really want to like the Mystics. But they are often really hard to watch. So sloppy, so many TOs, so many missed bunnies at the rim. Add to that that the league’s officiating is just terrible and most of the announcers are nails on a chalkboard. Hard to not avert the eyes.

New starting lineup. Hopefully they keep the turn overs down.

UDFA from Spain just turned 22 in April. Played 23 minutes at the point and off guard positions in her debut. Her defense pressuring the ball helped the Mystics take Seattle out of their offense. Storm were held to just 9 points in the second quarter. Hopefully the team finally found a combo guard that can give Amoore & Citron a break.

Alicia Florez has 13 assists to 1 turnover in the 3 games she’s played. Mystics need to convert her developmental contract to a standard one.

If Alicia’s shooting improves she will start get more minutes than Amoore.

I was just at their stadium this afternoon doing some work...
I'd never seen that building, as I did work when they were building the area up, but it's a very nice facility, albeit a little tiny, it looks like the size of McDonough or in that range....

Yep. Florez stood out as a baller compared to just about everyone else on the court last night. The Stics weren’t particularly good, but the Sky were straight up trash.
