Washington Mystics vs Minnesota Lynx Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jun 21, 2026

The market sat at 169.5, but Washington and Minnesota never quite found their offensive rhythm in a defensive-minded affair that favored the under from the opening tip. The first quarter's combined 44 points set the tone—a slugfest where both teams scored exactly 22 each—before the second half's 33 combined points (Minnesota 20, Washington 13) essentially sealed the totals case. DAGGER's pregame call on the under cashed by 6.5 points, with the final combined total landing at 163.

The Mystics pulled away late behind Sonia Citron's 21 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Kiki Iriafen added 17 points and 7 boards. For Minnesota, Olivia Miles answered with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, but Natasha Howard's 20 points and 6 rebounds weren't quite enough to overcome a fourth-quarter Washington surge. The Lynx trailed entering the final frame, and the quarter's 47 combined points—the game's highest-scoring period—still couldn't flip the script. Washington's 28 fourth-quarter points to Minnesota's 19 proved decisive in a 84–79 decision that played out as a steady, lower-scoring contest: halves of 77 and 86 combined, reflecting the defensive intensity that kept both offenses from approaching the pre-game total projection.
