The Washington Mystics looked a little more like themselves in Game 2 of the Semifinals. They competed on the defensive end and displayed that beautiful ball movement that was seen all year long. They used a big third quarter to create a bit of separation before Kristi Toliver closed the door late with a couple of big shots. The Mystics head to Las Vegas with a 2-0 series lead after the 103-91 win on Thursday night at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington, D.C. Des

Having locked up the number one overall seed prior to the regular season finale, the Washington Mystics decided to close things out with a win. Extending a new franchise record for wins with 26.

Forcing a couple of shot clock violations and getting on the score board. They cut the deficit to 14, but it felt different as the building grew a bit restless. It appeared as if the Liberty with their physicality, were starting to seize control of the tempo. Elena Delle Donne scored

Defense and Depth. They're the two things that make this iteration of the Mystics dangerous.
