Angel Reese led the Sky with 22 points and 15 rebounds, extending her WNBA record to six consecutive games with 15-plus rebounds, but her efforts were not enough to secure a win. Mystics center Shakira Austin scored 15 points, including two critical free throws in the final seconds that sealed Washington's victory.
