Well, that was ugly. The Mystics were always going to be underdogs if they made it to the finals, but tonight they didn’t look like they belonged in the same league as the Storm in Game 1 on Friday night. Seattle came out strong and Washington had no counterpunch. The Storm won 89-76, lead by Jewell Loyd’s efficient 23 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.
Sloppiness defined the first half, lack of energy defined the second
The Thibault-era Washington Mystics have been defined by slow, methodical play. They do not turn the ball over.
