The Mystics, 16-18, enter Tuesday’s contest riding a two-game winning streak after victories over Indiana and Los Angelos. Standout guard Sonia Citron, a prime Rookie of the Year candidate, tallied consecutive 20-point games in Washington’s latest victories. Citron enters Tuesday just eight points shy of setting the Mystics’ single-season record for total points scored by a rookie.
Connecticut, who enters Tuesday a WNBA-worst 6-27, is 0-2 against Washington this season. The Sun’s last trip to D.C. resulted in a blowout 104-67 loss — a result Sydney Johnson and his streaking Mystics squad would like to replicate in front of their home crowd on Tuesday night.
