The Washington Mystics are back where they need to be after taking down the Indiana Fever, 87-75, on the road. It was their defense that stood the test of time in the second half that sealed the win for them along with a shooting upward spiral for Ariel Atkins.
Atkins struggled shooting wise scoring only seven points in the first half, but took off in the second half adding 21 points to her 28 point total. She even knocked down four three-pointers including this wide-open one.
On top of Atkins’ season-high 28 points, Elena Delle Donne had 19 points and seven rebounds while Natasha Cloud put up 16 points and was one assist away from a double-double.
