Washington Mystics stun the Atlanta Dream 81-76 in a gritty comeback, fueled by Shakira Austin’s 21-point, 9-rebound explosion and Kiki Iriafen’s clutch double-double (14-10) — her eighth of the season. Iriafen’s late layups gave Mystics a 4-point lead, sealed by Georgia Amoore’s free throws. Alicia Florez added 13 points and 7 assists off the bench. Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard (24 pts, 5 3s) and Allisha Gray (17 pts) couldn’t overcome a four-game road skid. Mystics trailed by 9 at halftime but surged in Q3 with 5 threes to take control, finishing with 31 FGs but 27 turnovers. Mystics host Valkyries Monday; Dream return home Saturday to face Golden State in a pivotal turnaround chance.
