Natasha Howard and Olivia Miles lead Lynx to 78-76 win over Mystics
WASHINGTON (AP) --- Natasha Howard had 21 points and a season-high 15 rebounds,
Olivia Miles scored 10 of her 21 points in the fourth quarter, and the
Minnesota Lynx rallied from a 12-point deficit Wednesday night to beat the
Washington Mystics 78-76.
Kayla McBride made five 3-pointers and finished with 19 points for the Lynx
(14-4).
Miles hit a step-back jumper that cut Minnesota's deficit to a point with 3:32
to play. After a Mystics timeout, the Lynx forced a shot-clock violation before
Miles fed Howard for a wide-open layup that made it 72-71 --- Minnesota's first
lead since 17-16 --- and hit a 3 with 1:07 remaining that made it 78-74.
McBride hit the last of her four first-half 3-pointers with 1.1 seconds left in
the second quarter to make it 40-all at halftime, but the Lynx made just 3 of
16 (19%) from the field in the third and trailed 65-53 with seven minutes to
play.
Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve has 378 career wins, one behind Mike Thibault for
most in WNBA history.
Washington (8-8) had won their last three.
Sonia Citron led the Mystics with 28 points on 9-of-14 shooting, 4 of 5 from
3-point range. Kiki Iriafen had 13 points and 11 rebounds, her fifth
double-double this season, and Shakira Austin added 11 points and 16 rebounds.
Washington beat the Lynx 84-79 in Minneapolis on Sunday.
