The Washington Mystics lost to the Atlanta Dream, 88-69 on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta.
The first quarter went in the Dream’s favor as the Dream took at 27-18 lead. Rhyne Howard got the start for the Dream and scored 5 of her game high 15 points. For the Mystics, Linnea Harper had 5 points. Then in the second, things weren’t any better, except for Shatori Walker-Kimbrough scoring 10 of her 13 points to lead Washington. Washington was down 54-36 at that point.
While the second half was more even with Atlanta out scoring Washington 34-33, the damage was done because of their poor first half showing, especially with three point defense where the Dream shot 11-of-19 from deep in that time and 14-of-23 overall.
