Washington Mystics End Losing Streak as Kiki Iriafen Scores Career-High 23 Points

Kiki Iriafen scored a career-high 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Washington Mystics to a 91-78 comeback victory over the Dallas Wings, ending the Mystics' four-game losing streak and improving their 2025 record to 14-17. Iriafen made franchise history as the first rookie in Mystics history to record over 250 rebounds in a season and is one of only two rookies, alongside Sonia Citron, to have multiple 20/10 games this year. Citron contributed 18 points, six assists, and five rebounds, while Stefanie Dolson and Emily Engstler added 14 and 11 points respectively. The Mystics overcame a 41-30 halftime deficit by outscoring the Wings 61-37 in the second half, with Citron hitting a crucial 27-foot three-pointer late in the game. Dallas' Paige Bueckers led her team with 17 points, extending her streak to 25 consecutive games scoring in double digits, tying a WNBA rookie record. Despite Bueckers' efforts, Dallas has now lost five straight games.
