WASHINGTON (AP) — Saniya Rivers scored 17 points, Olivia Nelson-Ododa had 15 points and nine rebounds, and the Connecticut Sun beat the Washington Mystics 80-69 on Tuesday night to end a 13-game road losing streak.

Sonia Citron ties a career high with five three-pointers and finishes with 24 points to lead the Washington Mystics to a 95-86 victory over the Sparks.

The Mystics are overwhelmed in the second half, failing to find an answer for Sabrina Ionescu, who finished with a game-high 29 points that included seven three-pointers.

Saniya Rivers led Connecticut with 17 points off the bench, as the Sun's reserves totaled 45 points to fuel an 80-69 road win over the Washington Mystics Tuesday night.

Washington had surged in recent days, but the last-place Sun, with a little help from Edwards, handed the Mystics a deflating 80-69 loss.

The Los Angeles Sparks and the Washington Mystics will combine for more than169 points, Doug Kezirian predicts.

There’s a way this Washington Mystics season could have been kind of tedious. In the offseason, and again at the August trade deadline, the rebuilding team swapped its veterans for a collection of first-round picks.
