Tough fall away foul line Buzzer beater by Natasha Cloud beats LA 69-67 after shooting 1-10. LA pooped their pants.

Mystics win the 4th quarter by 15-9 to grab the W.

Candace had 13/8/7 but 5 TOs.

Both teams shot under 40%.

Another one of those "quiet" stat line filling performances. The biggest noise Candace made was her half time kerfuffle with Hawkins where she over reacted to her personage being bumped after a play. Good job by Karlie calming her down and escorting her to the locker room.

That was right before the half? I wanna review that.

I just watched the replay of the last 30 seconds. Natasha was practically falling down and in trouble. She scored on a desperation shot over Beard. The fans went home happy. Or maybe the fans haven't left yet. Pandemonium!

Mystics! Mystics! Mystics!

Pretty much every word in that sentence is awesome and hysterical. She's always been a primadonna.

Mystics keeping the pressure on Atlanta for that all important #2 seed in the playoffs.

LA and Minnesota both just haven't been good enough this year to make me think they can win a Title w/out getting that double bye. They have talent, but no consistency at all.

Minnesota could actually use some more talent. DRob went out for season with injury. Whalen has been benched in favor of Tanisha Wright, who isn’t what she used to be. Brunson has been out for a while. Could use some more talent right about now.

Yes, point taken. Maya and Syl isn't a bad place to start but they could use some more pieces. If only they had players like Natasha Howard and Renee Montgomery. Oops.

Yes the trade for Howard they can change draft positions with Seattle. Trade looking worse now then when it was made.
