Looks like the Liberty preview was classic “Bulletin Board Material.” But other results have secured Washington’s run on the “Treadmill of Mediocrity.”
The Mystics won last night against the Liberty, 75-62. By doing so, it kept them in the playoff race for at least a few more hours, pending the result of a Mercury vs. Sparks game late at night. The Sparks (who have been slumping in the post-Olympic break), beat Phoenix 90-85.
So in short, by winning the Liberty game last night, the Mystics have guaranteed that they will not fall further than 9th place in the WNBA this season.
