The Sky lost their fourth game in a row, falling 77-69 to the Washington Mystics.
WASHINGTON -- Elena Delle Donne scored 20 points, Brittney Sykes added 16 points and 3 steals and the Washington Mystics beat the Sky 77-69 Sunday. The Sky have lost four games in a row, the franchise's longest losing streak since a seven-game skid early in the 2001 season, when the Sky responded with seven straight wins and eventually won the WNBA title.
Delle Donne made a jumper and hit 2 free throws before Sykes found Shakira Austin for a basket that made it 6-0 and Washington never trailed. Sykes had 14 points on perfect shooting in the first half, going 5 of 5 from the field, including a 3-pointer, and 3 of 3 from the free-throw line. Courtney Williams made a driving layup with about a minute left in the first half that trimmed the Sky's deficit to 39-38, but Delle Donne answered with a three-point play to give the Mystics a four-point halftime lead and Austin scored five points in a 12-0 run to open the third quarter that made it 54-38 with seven minutes left in the period and the Sky trailed by at least eight points the rest of the way.
Marina Mabrey added 11 points for Chicago. Alanna Smith added 8 points and grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds. The Mystics shot just 39% from the field and made 5 of 15 from 3-point range but hit 22 of 26 from the free-throw line and committed just five turnovers. Chicago hit 27 of 61 from the field but shot 9 of 14 from the foul line with 20 turnovers, which led to 26 Washington points.
