The Washington Mystics have been battling the Connecticut Sun for the top seed in the 2019 WNBA Playoffs. But on Friday evening, Connecticut lost to the Chicago Sky 109-104 in overtime.
Be there for when we host the WNBA Semifinals on September 17th and 19th.

With the Sun loss, the Mystics are officially the top seed in the playoffs. I get that regular season championships mean little in American sports. But for a team that has struggled to be relevant in its own league for most of its history, the Mystics have truly turned a corner over the past several seasons under Mike Thibault’s leadership.
CONGRATULATIONS WASHINGTON MYSTICS!!!!
