The Washington Mystics lost last night to the Connecticut Sun, and they now have a 15-18 record. They remain seventh place in the standings, but there are just seven games left, mostly against top tier competition.
Two of their next three games are against the Las Vegas Aces (Aug. 26 and Aug. 31). They play the sixth-place Minnesota Lynx (Aug. 29) in between each of their remaining Aces games. I’m not confident they will win more than one of these three games.
After this stretch, the Mystics will play the Los Angeles Sparks on the road on Sept.
