Washington MysticsvsConnecticut Sun
WSH 88/CON 81
Things to say
Washington Mystics beat the Connecticut Sun 88-81 in Uncasville.
01
Mystics took care of business in Connecticut, 88-81. Sun just can't get out of their own way this year. Washington's been the better team for a minute now.
02
key player
Sonia Citron went off — 26 and 11 with 4 dimes. Rookie's getting buckets and crashing the glass like a vet.
03
hot take
Connecticut at 2-14 isn't a slump, that's the roster. They couldn't buy a bucket down the stretch.
04
deep cut
Aneesah Morrow quietly grabbed 10 boards for the Sun and still led them in scoring with 11. That tells you everything about Connecticut's night.
05
exit
Anyway, Mystics are over .500 and trending up — should be fun to see what they do next time out.
The recap
Mystics took this one 88-81 on the road, and it was the Sonia Citron show start to finish. She dropped 26 and grabbed 11 boards for the double-double, basically ate Connecticut up by herself while nobody else on the Sun could buy a bucket.
Aneesah Morrow battled for 11 and 10 but got zero help, and the Sun drop to 2-14 because one player carrying the whole offense just isn't going to cut it. Washington needed this one and Citron made sure they got it.
