Sandy Brondello’s 18 points helped the Shock to its second straight win as Detroit topped Washington for the fifth time in seven career meetings. The Mystics used an 8-0 run in the middle of the first period to stake themselves to a 10-point lead with 4:48 left until halftime, but could muster up just two more points over that span taking a five-point lead into the locker room.

Detroit scored the first eight points after the break and 31 of the first 45 to push their lead to double-digits and effectively end the game. Murriel Page posted an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double and added a career-high four blocked shots for Washington.
