The Washington Mystics faced a tough loss in the first game of their WNBA first-round series. They were defeated 92-77 after recording 22 turnovers, matching their season high.
The playoff game, which took place on September 27, 2026, saw The Dream’s Rhyne Howard deliver a remarkable performance with 26 points, the most by any player in the game. Meanwhile, Michaela Onyenwere of the Mystics scored eight points.
The Mystics had an impressive regular season, tying for the league’s best record since the all-star break. They also set a new league record for rebounds in a season and became the youngest team to make it to the playoffs.
Despite these achievements, turnovers have been a significant issue for the Mystics, and this proved to be detrimental in the first game of the series.
