Kiki Iriafen led Washington with 22 points.
The Washington Mystics lost to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, 99-83.
If you watched this game for just the first quarter, you were thinking that the Mystics were going to be in the driver’s seat, you’d be right. Washington led, 23-12 shooting 60 percent while holding Atlanta to just 23.1 percent shooting.
But there are three more quarters after that. A turnover filled second quarter flipped the script and allowed the Dream to have a 40-39 lead at the half. Then in the third quarter and fourth quarter, it was just a complete butt kicking at the Mystics’ expense. There isn’t much to be said there.
For the Mystics, Kiki Iriafen led with 22 points with Sonia Citron adding 16 more. For the Dream, Brionna Jones led with 23 points while Naz Hillmon added 14 points and 13 rebounds.
The Mystics’ next game is on Tuesday against the Chicago Sky. Tip off is at 8 p.m. ET.
