Chicago SkyvsWashington Mystics
CHI 72/WSH 90
Things to say
Washington Mystics beat the Chicago Sky 90-72 at home.
01
Mystics handled the Sky at home, 90-72. Wasn't really close down the stretch. Chicago just couldn't buy a bucket.
02
key player
Shakira Austin went for 17 and was a problem in the paint all night. Kiki Iriafen pulled down 11 boards too, those two ate them up inside.
03
hot take
Sky are 3-6 and it's not the record, it's the vibes. Something's off in Chicago.
04
deep cut
Kamilla Cardoso had 13 and 5 assists and still took the L. When your center leads the team in dimes, that's a rough night for the guards.
05
exit
Anyway, Mystics back at .500, we'll see if they can keep it rolling next game.
The recap
Mystics ate Chicago up at home, 90-72, and it wasn't really that close. Shakira Austin led the way with 17 and Kiki Iriafen was a monster on the glass with 11 boards, just bullying the paint all night.
Sydney Taylor had 15 to lead the Sky but nobody else could buy a bucket, and Cardoso's double-double didn't matter when her team took the L by 18. Washington evens up at 4-4 while Chicago drops to 3-6 and heads home to figure things out.
