Game Recap
Washington's 96-92 victory over Dallas came down to execution in the final quarter, where the Mystics held the Wings to just 12 combined points in the fourth. The game opened with a shootout—59 combined points in Q1—before both teams cooled considerably in Q2, which saw just 44 combined points. A 49-point third quarter briefly suggested another offensive surge, but the fourth quarter's defensive standoff decided the outcome.
Shakira Austin dominated for Washington, posting 27 points and 13 rebounds, while Cotie McMahon added 18 points and Sonia Citron chipped in 12 off the bench. Dallas countered with balanced production: Jessica Shepard totaled 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Alanna Smith matched her with 21 points and 11 boards. Paige Bueckers contributed 17 points in a losing effort. The 188 combined total blew past the 167.5 market line by 20.5 points, as DAGGER's pregame over call cashed decisively. For context, these teams' recent head-to-head meetings had landed at 156 and 161 combined—making this a considerably higher-scoring affair despite Dallas's recent form suggesting a higher-volume offense.
