Scouting report

The Mystics finished 21–12, 3rd in the league standings, with a +4.2 net rating that ranked 3rd of 12. They were balanced rather than dominant anywhere — 3rd on offense, 6th on defense. They stood out for three-point volume (10.7 makes a game, 2nd) and ball security (15.5 turnovers a game, 2nd-fewest), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. Scoring was spread around — Elena Delle Donne led at 20.7 a game, but no one accounted for more than 21% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Kristi Toliver as the one they can least afford to lose — +25.1 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 7-game winning streak (Jul 31–Aug 17) and a 28-point rout of the Sky on Jun 19. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (Jun 1–Jun 7) and a 26-point loss at the Sun on Jul 24. They went 9–10 against teams at .500 or better and 6–3 in games decided by five or fewer, and finished hot, 8–2 over the last 10. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team.
