The Washington Mystics are on fire, locking down a sixth straight win with a gritty 79-74 victory over the Atlanta Dream — matching a franchise record set in 2019. Shakira Austin dominated with 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks, while Kiki Iriafen added 15. The Dream clawed back from a 64-48 deficit, but Austin’s clutch shot sealed it. Allisha Gray led Atlanta with 26, Rhyne Howard poured in 19 despite foul trouble, and Angel Reese grabbed 16 boards despite a rough shooting night. Washington also shattered their own half-court block record with 9, finishing with 12 total. Sonia Citron scored 14, rookie Cotie McMahon chipped in 11. Dream head to Toronto next, Mystics host Phoenix — both teams gearing up for a wild finish. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
