Keep An Eye on: 

MYSTICS DEFENSE: The Washington Mystics will look to carry over their stifling defensive effort as they take on a gritty Phoenix Mercury squad led by dynamic stars Satou Sabally, Kahleah Copper, and Alyssa Thomas. In their last outing, the Mystics smothered the Seattle Storm, holding them to just 32.8% shooting from the field and 23.8% from deep while dominating the glass with a 44-28 rebounding edge. Washington turned up the pressure even more in the third quarter, limiting Seattle to an ice cold 17.6% shooting en route to a 69-58 victory. Against a Mercury team that thrives on aggressive, downhill play, the Mystics’ ability to stay physical, connected, and disciplined defensively will be key to securing another statement win.
