Scouting report
The Mystics finished 26–8, 1st in the league standings, with a +14.8 net rating that ranked 1st of 12. This was an offense-first team — 1st in offensive rating (112.9) but 6th on defense (98.1 allowed per 100). They stood out for shot-making (53.6% eFG, 1st) and three-point volume (11.8 makes a game, 1st), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. Scoring was spread around — Elena Delle Donne led at 19.5 a game, but no one accounted for more than 20% of the points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +17.8 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 6-game winning streak (Jun 18–Jul 5) and a 43-point rout of the Sun on Jun 29. The lows: a 3-game losing streak (Jul 7–Jul 13) and a 23-point loss to the Mercury on Jul 10. They went 13–6 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a legitimate title contender without an obvious hole.
