Atkins, Delle Donne combine to score 50 as Mystics run past the Sky

Washington's Head Coach Mike Thibault was honored during a pregame tribute to celebrate his 300th win a few games ago. Chicago was in town looking to avenge their last outing here in D.C. when they were throttled by the Mystics. This game started a little slow, but the Mystics took control of it by closing the second quarter with a big run. It may have been the best game of the season for Ariel Atkins; she finished with 25 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and

Defense fuels Washington's win over Chicago

The Washington Mystics began played the first part of a home and home with the Chicago Sky this evening. Defense has been an issue for the Mystics all season long, when they're competing at a high level on that end, they're one of the better teams in the league. In their losses, it's because there's inconsistent or flat out poor effort and execution on that end of the floor. That wouldn't be a problem tonight though, Washington put together their most complete game from a def

Then the buzz got even stronger when the Washington Mystics traded guard Bria Hartley and center Kia Vaughn to the New York Liberty in a three team deal involving th

The Mystics Fall To The Sky 72-69

By Cardell Dudley How did the Mystics drop their second straight loss to the surging Chicago Sky? 34.8% shooting from the field for the game. It's that simple. If it wasn't for the outstanding shooting from the free throw line (16-19), things could've got very ugly for the Mystics. Yes all star center Sylvia Fowles ( 21 points and 16 rebounds) took full advantage in the paint of the missing veteran presence of Kia Vaughn, who was out due to a suspension. And yes, Elena Delle
