Mystics Rally to Trounce Lynx in Overtime

Based on the following stats, who won the Game, Mystics or Lnyx?


Average Mystics Lynx
FG% 38.0% 48.6%
3FG% 17.6% 50.0%
FT% 76.4% 80.0%
Turnovers 20 32

Rebounds 26 42


Most would say Lynx, but they would be wrong. Despite posting horrible team stats, the Mystics pulled it out in OT against the Lynx and continue to be 1 game back from the 4 position. It is sheer force of will, but these ladies have won 7 of the last 10 games and 4 in a row.


Now, imagine what they could do if they had a decent field goal percentage or improved their perimemter shooting or better yet, tighten up their defense. The Mystics would be unstoppable. Although, I will cut them a break for the


  • five who posted double figures Nikki Blue, Delisha Milton Jones, Nakia Sanford, Monique Currie and Alana Beard, and

  • the impressive 21 team steals.


Alright, since this was an away game , I wasn't in attendance tonight's highlight award is based on my read of the stats. Tonight's award goes to our one of All-Star Player, Delisha Milton Jones. D-Nasty posted 17 points, 9 rebounds and 6 steals. Plus, she enters prestigeous 3000-point club.
