Mystics Rout Sky 89-58 in Playoff Chase

The Washington Mystics secured a decisive 89-58 victory over the Chicago Sky, moving within one game of the Sky for the final playoff spot in the WNBA. Aaliyah Edwards led the Mystics with a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Brittney Sykes contributed 14 points and seven assists. The Mystics capitalized on the Sky's struggles, forcing 15 turnovers and limiting them to 36% shooting, which marked the Sky's worst loss of the season. Chicago's Chennedy Carter was the top scorer for her team with 16 points, but injuries have hindered their performance this season, notably with Angel Reese sidelined. The Mystics will face the Atlanta Dream in a crucial home-and-home series starting Friday, as both teams vie for the playoff spot. This win marks Washington's third victory over Chicago this season, emphasizing their improving form as the playoffs approach.
