Mystics Face Dream in Last Showdown of the Season

COLLEGE PARK, Georgia — The Washington Mystics will travel to face the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, August 3, 2025, at 3:00 PM EDT in their final matchup of the season. This game is crucial for both teams, as they jockey for playoff positions in the ongoing WNBA season.

The Mystics (13-14) recently suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Golden State Valkyries, falling 68-67. Sonia Citron led the Mystics with 16 points, while Kiki Iriafen and Shakira Austin contributed 10 points each. In contrast, Atlanta (17-11) has won its last two games, including a 95-72 victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Friday.

In their earlier meeting this season, Washington defeated Atlanta 94-90 on May 16. However, the Dream have since won the last two encounters, highlighting their recent dominance in the series. A win for Atlanta could secure them the No. 2 seed if the New York Liberty lose to the Connecticut Sun.
