LAS VEGAS – Sin City is no stranger to seeing a hot streak come to an end.
The Washington Mystics weren't in Vegas long before theirs went cold. Riding a WNBA-best run of seven straight victories into the home of the defending champions, the Aces (23-11) dealt their visitors a bad hand Tuesday night, extinguishing the sizzling Mystics in an 86-76 win — in turn snapping a two-game losing skid of their own.
In a nutshell, this young Mystics (19-13) squad is really good. However, there is only so much you can do when A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young have it going.
Wilson led all scorers with 26 points and added 13 rebounds to notch another double-double (17). She went 10-for-18 from the field and racked up six stocks (four blocks, two steals). Young kept pace with the four-time MVP, pouring in 25 points (4-9 3PT, 7-7 FT) to go along with eight clean ******* ists (no turnovers).
"I needed a game with no turnovers," she said. "I [always] like to keep them low, so it feels good to go out there and make the right reads and still be able to be aggressive and get to my spots."
