Mystics at Storm final score: Washington loses second straight, 81-71
On Sunday night, the Mystics (1-2) lost to the Seattle Storm (2-1) in their second game of their road trip, 81-71. But really the scoring margin was smaller than the game itself.
To be fair, Washington was able to keep this game close in the first half. They forced the Storm to commit eight turnovers despite a 17 point first half from Jewell Loyd, who also shot a perfect 5 of 5 from the field in the first quarter. However, Washington had little help on the scoring end outside of Elena Delle Donne, Tayler Hill, and Ivory Latta who made multiple shots in those first two quarters. Meanwhile, Seattle point guard Sue Bird scored 7 points and dished 6 assists in the first half.
