New York Liberty vs Washington Mystics Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 10, 2026

New York Liberty held off Washington 98–93 in overtime, a five-point road victory that obliterated the market total of 164.5 by landing at 191 combined points. The game's trajectory told the story of a high-octane first half giving way to a defensive grind in regulation's final stretch.

The Liberty and Mystics combined for 103 points in the first half alone, with Q1 proving the most explosive frame at 55 combined. That early pace masked what came next: a dramatic deceleration saw the teams combine for just 38 points in Q3 and 29 in Q4, stretching the game thin enough that overtime became necessary. Combined scoring in OT (21 points) broke the drought and pushed the final tally well north of the projection.

Marine Johannes led New York with 25 points, while Breanna Stewart added 23 points and 9 rebounds and Pauline Astier chipped in 18 points with 7 assists. For Washington, Kiki Iriafen recorded 20 points and 12 rebounds, Sonia Citron scored 17, and Shakira Austin posted 16 points and 10 rebounds. DAGGER leaned under on the pregame; it missed. The Mystics' recent defensive profile (82.5 points allowed per game) proved no match for a Liberty offense riding its own momentum, and the inability to slow the pace—especially early—determined the outcome's explosive total.
