The Washington Mystics faced a challenging start in their WNBA first-round series, falling to a 92-77 defeat. The team matched its season-high with 22 turnovers, which played a significant role in the loss.
Rhyne Howard led the Atlanta Dream with a game-high 26 points. She maintained tight defense against the Mystics’ Michaela Onyenwere, who managed to score eight points.
Despite tying for the best record in the league since the all-star break, the Mystics struggled with ball control. They also set a league record for rebounds this season and stood out as the youngest team ever to reach the playoffs.
Washington’s inability to protect the ball proved critical in their playoff opener, showcasing a weakness that had persisted throughout the season.
