No Shakira for the game as many of us suspected would be the case. It's your big chance to prove yourselves Myisha and Queen! Luckily, Mystics will have all guards available (except Toliver of course) and the backcourt is the Mystics biggest advantage.

Queen and Myisha: be smart. Draw more fouls than you commit.

EDD is the one player i feel in this league that cancels out Stewies heroics . If DC's other 4 can replicate what they just did last weekend I can actually see them sweeping NY. Not saying they will but this will be so interesting to watch. JJ is the X factor . Do we get lazy JJ or MVP JJ?

Mystics having no problems at all putting the ball through the net in this opening quarter.

Fun and energetic first quarter. Looking forward to this series!

Felt like the Mystics played the better half of basketball yet they're down 4. Did a great job of containing Stewie but failed badly with Laney.

Ionescu to the rescu!

Good thing they don’t play again til Tuesday because the starters could use the rest. They only got 17 minutes from their bench.

That was fun! Can we do more like the fourth quarter and less like the first quarter next time? Very Happy

The ability of that Washington backcourt to change gears on a dime is just amazing. They can control the pace so well, and combining that with their defensive acumen... if you get complacent you will pay for it. Badly. A lot.

It was a very physical and very inconsistently called game. If Hines-Allen tied up JJ much more they'd have to arrange a safeword. But light contact got called much more than leading shoulders and heavier hits, and I don't know that that's the correct way to go. It's clear that there's some juice to this rivalry, and it sometimes expresses itself in stray elbows... shoulders... fingers to the eye (poor Sloot).

The place rocked all night. Passionate crowd. Four for the guys in the Statue of Liberty costumes, who have now upgraded to include light-up masks. None for the jackass calling the Mystics thugs. (The emcee attempted to reintroduce the "stand until the first basket" concept before the game. It died a swift and merciful death. AS IT SHOULD.)

The only Sue I will ever acknowledge in a Liberty-occupied building is Sue Wicks.

adorable moment at the end of the game- before the Mystics left the court, Brittney Sykes went to go find T-Spoon for a hug.

I am deeply, deeply concerned about Breanna Stewart's shooting slump and questionable ballhandling. We really need to beat DC on Tuesday and for Minnesota to force a Game 3 so we have time to try turning her off and on again.

Betnijah was probably that kid who got stuck doing all the work in group projects.

Great recap, Queenie. Great game. I was very stressed about this game and series but think we will be ok.

Horrible officiating. Mystics loved to whine and fall down.

Crowd was super loud and on their feet for Billie Jean King, Malala and of course T-Spoon.

I am also worried about Stewie but reminded myself that we still beat the Mystics by 15 with her and Sloot shooting somethin putrid. They both looked fatigued, but I expect them to bounce back in the postseason and it will get insane at Barclays when all 5 click.

JJ, Sab, and B were amazing and we got nothing from our bench. I feel like we need to attack the basket more outside of JJ.

Mad respect to Sykes, EDD and especially Cloud but I’m not too concerned. It was fun to wave them farewell off the floor. Payback is a b.

And St. John’s and Rutgers full teams were in attendance, neat to see the women’s basketball world descend on Brooklyn for what many of us hope is a deep October run. Really fun to see this franchise grow!
