The Mystics knocked down 10 of their 24 three-point attempts and converted 21-of-27 from the charity stripe, while limiting the Sky to just 18 free-throw attempts and 31.6% shooting from deep.
Rookie sensation Sonia Citron had a breakout performance, leading all scorers with 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including a blistering 5-of-6 from beyond the arc. Kiki Iriafen contributed a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Brittney Sykes added 18 points and 6 assists to round out the trio’s impressive night.
Angel Reese led Chicago with 22 points and 13 rebounds, though she struggled from the field, going just 6-of-16.
