The Washington Mystics began the first game of their post Olympic break schedule on the wrong note, losing to the Las Vegas Aces, 84-83.
Myisha Hines-Allen was huge in this game, returning from a knee injury that caused her to miss much of the first of the half of the season. She scored 8 of her 16 points in the first quarter where the Mystics took an early 27-15 lead.
While this game looked like a comfortable Mystics win for much of the game while heading into the fourth quarter with a 69-55 lead, the Aces went on a 29-14 run, holding Washington to 37.
