The Mystics are looking forward to finishing the weekend on a high note. The Mystics and Storm are in round two. Friday night, The Mystics defeated the Storm in a close game 73-66. The Seattle Storm on the day Sue Bird sees her jersey hung up on the rafters today.
The Keys to Victory!
Elena Della Donne is out, who steps up?
Elena Della Donne won’t play today with Neck Tightness. She leads the team in minutes. Coach Eric stated there was a precautionary measure. This is a centerpiece for the team that makes some things interesting.
The times Elena has missed playing, the team has played well on both sides of the ball. The key to the win will have to be the guard play and be aggressive.
In Friday’s game Ariel Atkins and Natasha Cloud combined for ten points. Brittney Sykes added eighteen points. The guards offensively need to be going early for the Mystics to get the win.
The bench contributed nineteen points in the Friday night win. It will be curious to see how the bench gets more involved in today’s game.
Jewel Loyd is back
Loyd missed Friday’s game due to injury. The key for Washington is for others to beat the mystics. Make Jewel be a passer. Seattle’s bench scored twenty-four points in Friday’s loss, and there were certain lineups that made the offense uncomfortable.
