Pregame notes

The Washington Mystics started the season with 12 consecutive losses (14 if you count the preseason…). But, and that’s a big “but”, they’ve been a .500 team since!

In their last 24 games, the Mystics are exactly 12-12.

Moreover, in an away game in Chicago last night, they blew-away the Sky who sat 2 games above them at the 8th and final spot for the playoffs!

So, the Mystics are definitely feeling it right now.

In another extremely important seeding game, the Mystics will now face the Atlanta Dream. Incidentally, the Mystics and the Dream are exactly tied at the 9-10 spots with identical records 12-24!

You want to know about the tie-breaker?

Well, the teams have played twice so far and their internal record is 1-1. And… they play home-and-away for the next two games!

A win tomorrow in Georgia, and the Mystics will be very close to securing that 8th spot, as they already hold the tie-breaker with the Sky thanks to their last win.

Here are the highlights from the previous meeting between these two teams:
