The Washington Mystics erased a double-digit deficit on Tuesday night to defeat the Atlanta Dream, 81-76, earning their third comeback win of 10 or more points this season.

After trailing early, Washington settled in on both ends of the floor and caught fire from beyond the arc, shooting 56.3% (9-of-16) from three-point range—its best performance from deep in nearly two seasons. The Mystics' balanced effort and timely shot-making helped fuel another resilient victory.

Shakira Austin led the way with 21 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks while knocking down a pair of three-pointers. She continued her dominant stretch on both ends of the floor, recording three or more blocks for the second straight game.

Kiki Iriafen added another double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, extending her streak to four consecutive double-doubles—the longest active streak in the WNBA.

Off the bench, Alicia Flórez delivered the best performance of her young career, finishing with career highs of 13 points and six rebounds while tying a game-high with seven assists. Her all-around effort provided a major spark as Washington climbed back into the game. Georgia Amoore also reached double figures with 11 points, giving the Mystics four players in double figures on the night.

The victory moves Washington above .500 for the first time since 2023 and continues a stretch of resilient, team-first basketball. From timely shooting to impactful performances throughout the rotation, the Mystics once again showed their ability to respond when it matters most.
