Shakira Austin lit up the scoreboard with 27 points, including 10 in the clutch fourth quarter, leading the Washington Mystics to an 84-79 win over the Seattle Storm. Kiki Iriafen added a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds, while Sonia Citron poured in 19 and rookie Lauren Betts chipped in 11. The Storm, meanwhile, struggled mightily — shooting just 29% and turning the ball over 19 times — and were outscored 20-11 in the final quarter. Natisha Hiedeman had a career-high 31 points, but her teammates combined for just 16 makes on 46 attempts. Rookie Dominique Malonga battled hard with 10 points and 15 rebounds, though both she and Awa Fam had rough first halves, committing more fouls than points. The Storm look to rebound in Chicago on Wednesday, while the Mystics head to Toronto on Tuesday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
