Washington Mystics hold on for nail-biting victory over Chicago Sky, their second straight win of 2024
Mystics guard Ariel Atkins went off for 29 points, while forward Aaliyah Edwards had 16
By Jordan Pagkalinawan • 2 min readAfter opening the year with 12 straight losses -- the fourth-worst start in WNBA history -- the Washington Mystics won their second straight game against the Chicago Sky on Friday, 83-81.
Washington set the tone from the jump, leading 9-0 in the opening minutes and holding a 23-10 lead at the end of the first quarter. Rookie forward Aaliyah Edwards led the Mystics with 10 points and six rebounds in the opening period. Chicago went on an 11-1 run in the second quarter to cut the deficit to eight, but the Mystics went into halftime with a 47-36 lead.
Washington maintained its lead despite several comeback attempts by Chicago. At one point, the Sky went on a 10-0 run to get within five with three minutes left. Guard Lindsay Allen got Chicago within two, 83-81, with 51 seconds to play.
Following a missed 3 for the win by Allen, Kamilla Cardoso collected the offensive rebound and found Sky guard Marina Mabrey, who drew a foul and had a chance to tie the game with 0.2 seconds left. She missed both free throws, and Washington escaped with its second straight win of the season.
