The Washington Mystics control their 2024 WNBA Playoffs destiny. Let me repeat it again. The Mystics aren’t just eighth place in the WNBA standings. They control their playoff destiny.
Last night, Marcus Atkinson wrote that the Washington Mystics won their game against the Atlanta Dream, 72-69 to improve their record to 13-24. Just minutes later, the Minnesota Lynx defeated the Chicago Sky, 83-66. The Sky have held onto the eighth place spot in the regular season standings for most of the last week, but they now have an identical 13-24 record as the Mystics.
