Defense and Delle Donne have Mystics well-positioned for the postseason

With the WNBA regular season soon drawing to its conclusion, the Washington Mystics are a lock to make the playoffs and have a puncher’s chance of reaching the Finals. This is the best Mystics team since their 2019 group, which won the league championship.

The 2019 championship team arguably had the best offense in professional basketball history. It scored 115.9 points per 100 possessions — 15.0 points better than league average. For comparison, elite NBA offenses over the years top out around 8-10 points per 100 possessions better than average.

The 2022 Mystics are different, though.
