Recent results: Washington lost to Phoenix 93-87 on Thursday. The Sky defeated Atlanta 99-98 in overtime Tuesday.

Skinny: A week ago, the Sky had a 10-point halftime lead at Washington, but lost 81-72. Mystics guard Alana Beard (20.2 points per game) torched the Sky for 31 points. The Mystics, the first-place team in the East, also get double figures from guard Marissa Coleman (12.7 ppg) and forward Crystal Langhorne (11.8 ppg), but Coleman has missed the last three games with a left ankle sprain. Center Chasity Melvin, who spent the last two years with the Sky, scored 12 against Chicago last time. Four Sky players got double figures in that game, including a team-high 15 from Jia Perkins. She leads the Sky at 19.9 points per game.
