Washington Mystics Preview
Washington’s momentum came to a halt with a disappointing 75-56 home loss to the Portland Fire in a game defined by offensive struggles. The Mystics fell behind early and never found the rhythm.
Shakira Austin led Washington with 19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, the only player from the team who managed to score in double figures while the rest of the squad failed to provide with enough support.
Offensively, the Mystics struggled, hitting just 29.7% from the field, including an almost non-existent 9.5% from the perimeter. Their ball movement was also inefficient, recording just 11 assists compared to Portland’s 20. Defensively, they managed to control the boards 45-30, limiting second chance opportunities through 26 defensive rebounds, but key defensive lapses and 19 turnovers proved costly down the stretch.
