Mystics beat Fire 124-123 after four overtimes

sportsJun 28, 202623283

The Washington Mystics beat the Portland Fire 124-123 after four overtimes, a quadruple-overtime game that the posts describe as the first of its kind in more than 25 years. Sonia Citron scored 32 points, Michaela Onyenwere had 30 and Kiki Iriafen added 27, each marking career-high scoring nights. The game lasted about 3 hours and 35 minutes and featured a Pride-night “for the gays” chant from the crowd. Washington escaped with the one-point win amid visible late-game free-throw struggles and heavy rotations into extra periods. The loss continues Portland’s road struggles; Portland has not won away since a May 25 victory in Brooklyn.

Remeber how there was some debate about whether that Mabrey/Rivers promo image was on purpose or a happy accident from the official WNBA account? They definitely know what they're doing... 👇 #WNBA

That’s what right, the WNBA has been bought off by Big Francophone

I just tried to search for a Count Von Count "Four! Ah ha ha!" GIF, and there sadly was none.

Gabby Williams was on to something last night when she said she couldn’t lose on Pride night. WNBA teams hosting Pride games are 10-2 this season, with the losses coming when Minnesota and Washington stole wins on each other’s Pride nights over the last week.

Hello, hoopheads! The WNBA's brief period without a team on a multi-game streak of either the winning or losing variety has gone as quickly as it came, as Chicago, Connecticut and Golden State all won their second straight games last night at home while sending Washington, Portland and Atlanta to their second losses in a row. The best game of the night and probably a top-five game so far this season closed out the slate when the Golden State Valkyries outlasted the Atlanta Dream by a 78-75 margin on Pride Night at Ballhalla. Gabby Williams scored 13 points of her 16 points in the fourth quarter and further endeared herself to a Ballhalla crowd

WNBA teams finish June 11-3 when hosting Pride games with the Storm’s win. Nine of 11 home wins by double-digit margins. Atlanta was on the losing end of 3 as the road team. Portland still to host theirs late next month.

The Connecticut Sun deserve to spend the rest of their final season wallowing in misery…but Roneeka Hodges deserves a chance to lead that franchise into its new era and the Sun should give it to her, effective immediately.

Fans who got a ticket to the Portland Fire-Washington Mystics game on Sunday got a bargain because they saw a game and a half. The Mystics needed 4 overtimes to escape with a 124-123 win, and it took a whopping 3 hours and 35 minutes. Our @jennhatfield.bsky.social sums it up for you in 2 minutes.

Dear #washingtonMystics, can you set up a GoFundMe site so fans can contribute the funds necessary to hire a free throw shooting coach? Because dayum! Great great effort though! So glad you won!!! I'd suggest more substitutes by the 3rd overtime though. #wnba #mystics #FTFail
