Brittney Sykes scored 18 points, Shakira Austin had 16 points and eight rebounds, and the Washington Mystics closed on a 12-2 run to beat the short-handed Las Vegas Aces 70-68 on Thursday night.
Washington’s defense has been their anchor, holding a respectable perch near mid-table in FG% and bolster their home court advantage during this three-game win streak. Brittney Sykes leads the charge offensively with ~17.9 PPG, while Sonia Citron (14.5 PPG) and center Kiki Iriafen (8.3 RPG) form a balanced frontcourt.
