Lynx stumble late in Washington

The Lynx let one get away against the Mystics, falling 84-79 after Washington controlled the fourth quarter. Minnesota led at halftime, but the Mystics outscored the Lynx 28-19 in the final period and held them to just over 31 percent shooting in the quarter. Olivia Miles led Minnesota with 22 points, while Sonia Citron paced Washington with 21. The same two teams meet again Wednesday night in Washington, giving the Lynx a quick chance to answer.
