Lindsay Allen hasn't scored in the second half after her eight points in the first [Applause] half Atkins scoop shot a creative finish she's got [Applause] 15 we're tied at 68 Mystics and Sky third meeting of the regular season they each have a win against the [Music] other pass deflected Edwards picks it off and gives the mystics the lead with 124 left to play turnovers for touchdowns turnovers for points it has been a problem in an Achilles heel all night long for Teresa Weatherspoon in the sky if Chicago was not able to to come back hang on and win this game they're going to look at one thing and one thing only they live ball turnovers 22 of them that have led to 19 Washington Mystics points and a lot of them I feel like have been passes like that it's been that slot pass all night long this either slot to slot or else the entry pass to the wing picked up pick six pick six pick six so how did this guy get momentum back on this offensive possession go inside Space the floor go inside go back into Camila and then get some inside outside action what's really been working for Chicago is when they're gone into Camila and then she's been able to hit Cutters so some movement you can't just pass it inside to her and just stand and watch there's got to be some movement Onan cardoso Reese Dana Evans Lindsay Allen are the ones on the floor for the sky Atkin Sykes Dolson van Lou and Edwards come out for the mystics out of this timeout it will be onion wed taking it out from the sideline 124 left the mystics with a 70 to 68 Advantage there have been seven lead changes three ties here [Music] tonight Allen using that rescreen gives it right back to Angel Reese and tols corbs it out of the air Edwards credited with the block on that possession and so the mystics can chew up some time Tolson back cut to Sykes it's Washington with the execution down the stretch cardoso's turn gets it to go and a double double for Camila 10 points 10 rebounds that's your mismatch the mismatch is Camila on the low block you want to keep Angel high and let her cut or let her move without the [Applause] ball Dolson driving against Reese cardoso her 11th rebound a chance to tie or take the lead crowd on its feet shot clock still in play one timeout left for the sky Allen penetrating Onan in two-point territory and a shot clock violation of all the moments in the game to get one of those [Applause] it's an excellent decision by Lindsay Allen to drive Baseline and then hit Michaela on the Marquette pass but with it being so loud in here and just it's hard to communicate in this kind of environment and she just she just didn't see it there's no excuse for that she just didn't see it so Eric TBO uses his reset timeout to advance the ball the reset timeout you can use in the last two minutes of Regulation to advance the ball or used as a substitute and they stop the clock at 6.4 with the foul against Dana Evans her third and Van Lou at the free throw line not a lot of free throw attempts this season none here tonight eight of 11 overall on the year [Applause] that's the experience of and the benefits of having a 31 yearold rookie she's been in these situations maybe not in the W but she's been in this these [Applause] situations squeezes out some time but the Sykes gets the Miss free throw ah the execution you know we began this game G shimmy talking about the last two games that came down to the final seconds against Connecticut against vas and now against Washington and a shot clock violation a missed rebound off of a missed free throw these are the little things that add up but still life with these Miss free throws Teresa weathering continues to say we don't have a towel to throw in down the stretch but certainly learning lessons here and it's a four-point deficit it'll be the last full timeout that Teresa Weatherspoon calls but you know this is the third straight game that has come down to the final seconds you know Lisa this has been an issue finishing games and clutch moments for both of these teams in fact Washington coming into this game they were last in the lead and clutch games they were four of 17 they they finally picked up one against Seattle in their last game Britney Sykes actually was able to win it with 1.1 seconds left on the free throw line but this has also been an area where this inexperienced Chicago Sky team has struggled throughout the season and we kind of saw or we thought they kind of gotten over that hump there was that stretch right before the break where they had closed out a few on the road but the last I mean three straight games you find them yourself in this situation of trying to finish close out yeah both teams have played 21 clutch games you know that's a that's a five-point differential with five or fewer minutes left to play that's how that's measured you mentioned the 4- 17 record for the mystics 8 and 13 here for the Chicago sky and time not on their side when it's a two possession session game here 3.2 see what weather spoon has drawn up Allen taking it out from the sideline Reef back to Allen pass deflected it'll stay here but time tiing off now 1.5 [Music] left and Edwards deflects the pass and that's how it ends Washington made more plays down the stretch than Chicago and survives 74- 70 tonight well Chicago certainly had their chances especially down the stretch but like Teresa at Weatherspoon like she said to us before the game everything is an opportunity it's about growth this is a team that right now they're still
