Pregame notes

Washington (8-11) is facing Las Vegas (16-6) for the third time this season on Tuesday night. The Mystics, who are in the midst of a 4-game road trip to start the second half of the season, are coming off a last-minute 84-83 loss against the Aces after leading by double-digits for most of the game. A’ja Wilson, Liz Cambage and Jackie Young were the only players for the Aces who scored in double-figures. They, in addition to Kiah Stokes, shot 50 percent or better from the field. Tina Charles, Ariel Atkins and Myisha Hines-Allen combined for 56 points but it wasn’t enough to secure their first win against Las Vegas this season.

Sunday’s night loss was a reminder to the Mystics that they need to finish how they start. They lost their double-digit lead in the fourth quarter after the Aces went on a run.

There’s no time to get comfortable for the Mystics, who currently sit at #8 in league standings.
