Overview

  • The Washington Mystics beat the Portland Fire 124-123 after four overtimes, forcing a fourth extra period with multiple late ties and finishing the contest on Sunday, June 28.
  • Sonia Citron scored a career-high 32 points, hit the go-ahead layup with 21.4 seconds left in the fourth overtime, made 13 of 14 free throws and logged about 52 minutes on the court.
  • Michaela Onyenwere scored 30 and Kiki Iriafen added 27, making Washington the first WNBA team to have three players score at least 27 points in the same game.
  • Portland’s Carla Leite led the Fire with 32 points and hit multiple last-second tying 3s in regulation and overtime, but her final floater with 0.5 seconds remaining rimmed out.
  • The game lasted roughly 3 hours and 35 minutes in real time, raised questions about player fatigue and rotations, and left Washington with time to evaluate Amoore’s right-knee soreness before hosting Atlanta on July 2.
