Connecticut Sun vs Washington Mystics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 28, 2026

Connecticut and Washington's season series had been a toss-up—one low-scoring defensive grind (125 combined) followed by a high-flying affair (169)—so their third meeting fit somewhere in between, though decidedly on the upper end. The Mystics prevailed 92–84, combining for 176 points, well above the 160.5 market total that opened and ticked up just one point before tipoff. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed by 15.5 points.

The game's shape was written in the opening quarter: Connecticut and Washington exploded for 59 combined points, the first half ballooning to 108. Aneesah Morrow led the Sun with 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Washington's Sonia Citron matched her offensive punch with 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists. Kiki Iriafen added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Mystics. But the second half told a different story. Combined scoring collapsed to 68 over the final 24 minutes—the third quarter managed just 35 combined points, and the fourth limped to 33—as both defenses tightened and scoring opportunities dried up. Olivia Nelson-Ododa (16 pts, 6 reb) and Shakira Austin (17 pts, 6 reb) kept Washington within reach late, enough to hold off a Connecticut squad that couldn't find rhythm after halftime.
