WASHINGTON- The Mystics (6-11) have now lost three straight and nine of 13, falling 83-75 this afternoon to San Antonio (12-6) before an announced crowd of 10,439 at the Verizon Center.
Becky Hammon's free throw shooting in the final minute kept Washington from making a serious comeback threat. Hammon was a perfect 10-10 from the line, part of her game-high 28 points. Along with Sophia Young (23 points) and Ann Wauters (18 points), San Antonio's big-three combined for 83% of the team's offense.
As for the Mystics, they showed charcater coming all the way back from a 13-point third quarter deficit to take a second half lead at 61-60. But Washington missed far too many layups and putbacks that need to be made by winning basketball teams. Monique Currie shot just 1-11, including 0-3 on three point attempts.
Alana Beard had just two points at halftime, but finished the game with a team-high 20. Former Maryland Terp Crystal Langhorne had a career-high 17 points and didn't look out of place in her fourth career WNBA start.
The Mystics are back at the Verizon Center Tuesday night at 7:05 against the Indiana Fever (9-8).
