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. It's nearly public knowledge at this point that the Washington Mystics seldom have issues putting the ball in the basket, but they become something else entirely when they're locked in on the defensive end.
