The Mystics beat the Atlanta Dream, 96-75 at their home opener and first game at the Entertainment and Sports Arena. Every player scored in the game with Ariel Atkins leading the way with 21 points and four more players scored in double figures.
This game started off the way any Mystics fan would hope. Elena Delle Donne scored the first basket in their new home and would go off for 10 points in the first quarter. Kristi Toliver scored the second basket. And Ariel Atkins was the third Washington player to score. It seems like fate just because the trio were Washington’s key pieces in the 2018 season.
