3 seed Washington Mystics find themselves with another opportunity to advance to the championship round for the first time. The obstacle in this case is the second-seeded Atlanta Dream, which will be playing its first game in a week when the teams tip-off Sunday afternoon at Georgia Tech’s McCamish Pavilion in Game 1 of the best-of-five series. Delle Donne set the franchise single-season record for scoring (20.7) to help Washington match a franchise record for victories (22). She had 19 points and 12 rebounds in the Mystics’ playoff opener in which all five starters scored in double figures. “We know what we’re supposed to do to play against them,” Thibault said of the Dream, which owns a 4-1 record against Washington in the playoffs.
