Summary
The Washington Mystics stunned the New York Liberty with an 86-83 victory, ending New York’s eight-game win streak and snapping their own ten-game losing skid against them. Kiki Iriafen, returning from a three-game ankle injury, delivered a heroic performance with 20 points, including the go-ahead layup with 27 seconds left. Her presence sparked a crucial 10-2 fourth-quarter run, showcasing her game-changing impact. The Liberty, who had dominated the Mystics 22 points earlier this week without Iriafen, missed key shots in the final seconds — Breanna Stewart’s tough layup and missed threes from Ionescu and Sabally sealed the upset. Both teams face high-stakes matchups Sunday: Mystics travel to Minnesota for a home-and-home with the Lynx, while the Liberty begin a four-game road trip in LA, facing the Sparks in a historic 30th-anniversary game of the WNBA.
