Scouting report

The Mystics finished 18–16, 5th in the league standings, with a +0.6 net rating that ranked 5th of 12. They were balanced rather than dominant anywhere — 5th on offense, 7th on defense. They stood out for three-point volume (8.7 makes a game, 2nd) and ball security (15.4 turnovers a game, 2nd-fewest), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. Scoring was spread around — Elena Delle Donne led at 19.7 a game, but no one accounted for more than 18% of the points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +14.4 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 5-game winning streak (May 24–Jun 6) and a 34-point rout of the Sky on Jun 25. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (Jul 2–Jul 8) and a 33-point loss to the Sparks on Aug 16. They went 3–12 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team.
