The Washington Mystics lost to the Indiana Fever 87-66, on Tuesday night in Indianapolis.
Every team will suffer a bad loss from time to time. Tonight was Washington’s. Aliyah Boston, Indiana’s starting rookie center, had a field day with Shakira Austin, Washington’s sophomore star center. She scored 22 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and dished 6 assists. Let me also add that Boston shot 11-of-14 from the field. Kelsey Mithcell also added 19 points for the Fever, 14 in the second half when the game got ugly.
The Mystics were trailing 41-38 in the first half.
Washington was not aggressive tonight, especially in the fourth quarter when they failed to attempt a single free throw while the Fever attempted 8 from the charity stripe.
