The Washington Mystucs snapped their one-game losing streak after beating the Atlanta Dream at Entertainment and Sports Arena 70-50. The Mystics were led by a combined effort from Elena Delle Donne and Kennedy Burke, who finished the game with a combined 28 points.
Washington started the game hot on offense with 4-5 shooting thanks to a Shakira Austin turnaround jumper and three Alysha Clark scores, but one turnover and two fouls had the Mystics up just six at the first timeout.
From there, Washington made a concerted effort to look to shooters outside and Natasha Cloud rewarded her teammates’ playmaking with a bucket outside — a step-back, deep three-pointer — plus an assist to Austin at the top of the key for a wide open mid-range jumper.
