Washington Mystics vs Seattle Storm Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 27, 2026

The market total of 160.5 looked bloated from the opening tip. Washington and Seattle combined for 48 points in a frenzied first quarter, but the pace collapsed immediately after. Q2 brought just 29 combined points—a 19-point swing that signaled a grind-it-out second half was coming. The Mystics won 78-64, landing the contest at 142, a full 18.5 points below the book. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

Washington's defense tightened considerably after halftime, holding the Storm to just 35 combined points over the final two quarters while managing 30 of their own. Shakira Austin anchored the effort with 18 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Michaela Onyenwere added 14 points and Kiki Iriafen chipped in 13 with 9 boards. Jade Melbourne led Seattle with 15 points and 3 assists, but the Storm couldn't generate enough offensive rhythm; Mackenzie Holmes pulled down 10 rebounds but managed only 8 points, and Natisha Hiedeman finished with 8 points off the bench.

The Mystics' 12-point road victory marked a significant reversal from their last meeting this season—a 97-85 loss to Seattle on May 24th, when the total climbed to 182. Washington's recent form had suggested defensive vulnerability (85.1 points allowed per 10 games), but the Storm's own output (82.2 per game) proved insufficient to break through. The second-half collapse, particularly the anemic Q2, was the decisive factor in keeping this one well below the total.
