The Washington Mystics lost to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, 76-73 at home. Because of that, the Mystics’ playoff push hits a speed bump while the Dream’s slim playoff hopes remain alive. That said, the Mystics still have a lottery pick for the 2025 WNBA Draft, though it’s unclear whether it’s their own pick or Atlanta’s.
If the Mystics won today, the Dream would have been mathematically eliminated and Washington would know they would at least have the Dream’s 2025 first round pick for themselves.
Atlanta, which had no incentive to tank the rest of the season, made this game hard for the Mystics.
