Things got a little heated in the fourth quarter of last week's Washington Mystics win over Chicago. The DC-based WNBA team held a slim 62-60 lead over the Sky, when a contested rebound turned into a jump ball that Chicago head coachΒ Tyler MarshΒ strongly disagreed with β costing him a technical foul from the sideline. Washington veteran Brittney Sykes could have taken the subsequent free throw, adding to a 32-point performance on a night when it felt like the 31-year-old couldn't miss. Fourth-year center Shakira Austin was also on the floor, as was third-year guard Sug Sutton. Instead, the player stepping up to the stripe turned out to be rookie guardΒ Sonia Citron. She calmly sank the shot for her 11th point of the game, giving Washington a little more daylight as they held on for their fifth win of the season. Story byΒ Claire Watkins
