WASHINGTON \u2014 Nneka Ogwumike hit a 15-foot jumper as time expired and finished with six three-pointers and 30 points as the Seattle Storm<\/a> beat the Washington Mystics<\/a> 84-82 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Seattle (20-18) has won four of its last five following a six-game skid. Washington (16-22) has lost four games in a row.<\/p>\n

Sug Sutton hit a three-pointer from the left wing to make it 82-all with 6.1 seconds left. Ogwumike caught a pass from Sklar Diggins near the right elbow and made a spinning fade-away jumper that bounced multiple times as it rolled around the rim and then dropped.<\/p>\n

Dominique Malongo had 17 points, 10 rebounds, the 19-year-old rookie’s fourth double-double this season, and three steals, and Skylar Diggins added 10 points and 11 assists for the Storm.<\/p>\n

Shakira Austin made 10 of 15 shots from the field, 10 of 10 from the line and scored a career-high 30 points for the Mystics. Sonia Citron added 14 points, Kiki Iriafen scored 12 and Stefanie Dolson 11.<\/p>\n

Dolson hit a three to cap an 11-1 run that cut Washington\u2019s deficit to three late in the third quarter and Austin made a driving layup with 4:53 to go in the fourth quarter that gave Washington its first lead at 71-70.<\/p>\n

Iriafen finished with six rebounds and has a franchise single-season record 332. Crystal Langhorn held the previous record of 330, set in 2010.<\/p>\n

Malonga made a layup that gave Seattle its biggest lead at 35-21 with 7:28 remaining in the first half.<\/p>\n

Noelle Quinn earned her 94th win for Seattle and moved past Anne Donovan for second on the franchise’s all-time coaching wins list.<\/p>\n

The Storm play the fourth of five consecutive road games Tuesday at Indiana. The Mystics play the Liberty in New York on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON \u2014 Nneka Ogwumike hit a 15-foot jumper as time expired and finished with six three-pointers and 30…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":{"0":"post-95252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
