If I told you that the Washington Mystics were going to be a 2024 WNBA Playoff team back last June after an 0-12 start, you would tell me that I would be delusional. But today, the Mystics blew out the Chicago Sky in an 89-58 win on the road. The win improves them to a 12-24 record, certainly not good by any means, but they still went .500 since that poor start.
The win also puts them just one game behind the slumping Sky who are 13-23. Given how much momentum the Mystics have had as of late, while the Sky have gone in the opposite direction, don’t be surprised to see the Mystics get that 8th seed while the Sky end up slumping into 9th place.
