Minnesota Lynx vs Washington Mystics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jun 24, 2026

A fourth quarter explosion—46 combined points in the final frame—masked what had been a low-scoring, defensive grind for most of the evening, as Minnesota's Natasha Howard and Olivia Miles powered the Lynx to a 78-76 road win over Washington. The combined total landed at 154, well below the 169.5 market line, and DAGGER's pregame UNDER call cashed with room to spare.

The first half told a tighter story. Washington and Minnesota combined for 80 points through two quarters, with the Mystics holding a slim edge after Q1's 43 combined points (Washington 24, Minnesota 19). The second quarter slowed further—only 37 combined points—as both defenses tightened the screws, leaving the score close but the pace sluggish. The third quarter became a standstill, with just 28 combined points, the lowest-scoring period of the night. Then the floodgates opened. Q4 erupted to 46 combined points, but even that late offensive flourish couldn't push the combined tally to the pregame projection.

Howard finished with 21 points and 15 rebounds for Minnesota, while Miles added 21 points and 5 assists. Kayla McBride chipped in 19 for the Lynx. Sonia Citron led Washington with 28 points, and Shakira Austin anchored the defense with 16 rebounds, but it wasn't enough. The result aligned with Minnesota's season trend of outscoring opponents—their 92.8 per-game average over the last ten games proved decisive in a low-volume affair.
