This team used to be .500 ish but below .500 most of the time. Now, it\u2019s the other way around. And that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Washington didn\u2019t need Sonia Citron to drop 30 in their last game so hopefully she gets back on track tomorrow night. The Fire are now 10-14 after losing to the Connecticut Sun. 90-87 yesterday. Washington should be favored to win tomorrow however, so let\u2019s hope that the Mystics can build a cushion in the standings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Mystics play the Portland Fire tomorrow evening.
