Despite missing three starters, the Mystics scored a much-needed victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday. Washington cruised past the Mercury by a final score of 84-69 on national TV.
Brittney Sykes continued her tremendous scoring pace with 23 points. This was her fourth 20-plus point outing in 2023, which matches her career-high in the category from last season. Natasha Cloud matched Sykes with 23 points of her own to go along with 9 assists. Shatori Walker-Kimbrough also had a big game with 13 points on 5 of 10 shooting as DC showcased their backcourt talent.
The Mystics also played one of their best defensive games since getting hit by the injury bug.
