Shavonte Zellous’ 3-pointer 30 seconds earlier gave the Mystics (10-15) their first lead of the night at 54-53 after trailing 35-19 at the half. Natasha Cloud scored all 21 of her points in the second half and helped fuel a furious second-half rally that propelled the Washington Mystics to a 76-75 victory over the Dallas Wings Saturday in the nation’s capital. Dallas (11-15) sought its second consecutive win and seemed to be on its way after a smothering first half. The Mystics, who had dropped nine of their last 11, came in needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Wings shot 75 percent from the floor in the first on their way to a 17-9 lead and dominated the second quarter.
