When: Thursday, July 2 at 7:30 p.m. ET<\/p>\n
Where: CareFirst Arena, Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n
How to Watch: Monumental, WNBA League Pass<\/p>\n
Mystics: Georgia Amoore (Day-to-Day)<\/p>\n
Dream: Naz Hillmon (Day-to-Day)<\/p>\n
It took 60 minutes, but the young legs of Sonia Citron were up for the challenge. She scored 25 points in the last 30 minutes (fourth quarter and the four overtimes) to carry the Mystics.<\/p>\n
The win finally put the Mystics at 0.500, with a record of 9-9, after doodling in that range but mostly looking at the 0.500 mark for most of the season.<\/p>\n
Michaela Onyenwere and Kiki Iriafen were also huge scoring 30 (!) and 27, and now the Mystics can really hope this \u201cenergy win\u201d powers them forward on a winning streak.<\/p>\n
But energy alone won\u2019t suffice against the Dream, that are one of the best teams in the East now. They sit, nearly tied, with the Liberty atop the East standings.<\/p>\n
Morevoer, the Dream just had their first three-game losing streak (in fact, they had never lost consecutive games this season prior to this streak). So, by all accounts, this predicts to be a very tough game for the Mystics.<\/p>\n
