The Washington Mystics take on the New York Liberty in round two of the WNBA Playoffs, Sunday at 5:00 P.M. ET on ESPN2.
Frankly, let’s get down to brass tacks. Records are out the door.
Toughness
Most people did not think that the Mystics would get by the Dallas Wings in round one. For good reason, the Mystics had not proven in the regular season that they could with-stand a ‘punch’ - literally and figuratively - and not blow a game.
They blew huge leads against the Connecticut Sun, 22 points ahead, and against the LA Sparks, a 17 point lead, during the season.
