Delle Donne is on. So is Tolliver. CT better get going.

Tie score

 

[MilfordHusky]

Mystics now up 48-41. Lots of offense!

 

[MilfordHusky]

58-43 at the half, Washington. When I saw the Mystics in person against Seattle, they put up 100 and looked very good on offense. Now Emma Meeseman has returned, so they are bigger and even more dangerous.

There's a Sun run coming.

2 pt game!

90-90.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Wow! The Sun played defense in the 4th and got a comeback win after being down by 15 to a good team. Impressive, even at home.

Down by 22 at one point.

Even more impressive.

 

[Roger G]

Best comeback in the history of the Sun.

 

[triaddukefan]

The Sun are definitely for real.... if there were any doubts before.

 

[Roger G]

4th place in the league! 3rd most wins. 1st in the Eastern Conference.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I saw some of the first half, but switched to the Lynx game at halftime.

The +/- shows a huge differential for the bench. The Washington bench was badly outscored.

Kayla Pederson and Alex Bentley were both very good off the bench. +13 and +15. Both made some key plays. Pederson's layup off a feed from J. Thomas and Bentley taking it all the way late in the game.

Phoenix at 9-6 has a better percentage. But still impressive for the Sun. Chiney who?

Consistency is the key. They have looked impressive. They just need to keep it up,

Yeah, I edited my post. The commentators said they were third, so I went with it. I had actually already figured it out before the game but thought I must have been wrong. Anyway, it is a slight difference in percentage. Nothing the Sun couldn't overcome soon. I just hope they keep focused. The next game could be a trap game.

They have an opportunity to separate themselves from the large pack in the middle. In past years, I didn't like they way they played. But they are playing with energy and intelligence this year.
