The offense really struggled to catch a rhythm. Aces were able to build 12-point lead early as a result. The Mystics struggled hitting shots, but turnovers were the story of the first half. The 11 turnovers committed by the team slowed the momentum of them climbing back into the game. The rest of the game it felt like the Mystics were trying to climb out of the hole they were in early on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Shakira Austin had a big 3rd quarter on both ends that helped the Mystics build a run to give them a brief 2-point lead. Austin showed her prowess around the basket and contributed to some big stops, before briefly coming out of the game, after bumping her head on the floor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This night, however, belonged to Jackie Young, who had a game-high 32 points (10 for 14 from the field). Young was able to score all over the court. Mystics struggled to cover her throughout the game. Every time the Mystics got close, it felt like Jackie Young started hit big shot after big shot. She was able to help keep the Mystics at bay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Mystics drop their 2nd straight and 2nd straight to the Aces. They will hit the road again and head to Los Angeles to face the Sparks on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Mystics lose this one to the Aces, 83-76.
