The Mystics got back on a winning track in a 86-67 victory over the Liberty on Thursday night. Washington really put the pressure on the Liberty in the second half defensively, holding them to just 26 points in the final two quarters.
The game wasn’t always in hand, though. The Mystics took a one-point lead into the half and were lacking major contributions from Elena Delle Donne and Kristi Toliver who combined for just seven points in the first half. Toliver turned it on after not scoring in the first half and dropped 11 second-half points, including a deep three that pushed the Mystics’ lead to 67-59.
