In a WNBA game, Kiki Iriafen contributed 21 points and 14 rebounds as the Washington Mystics defeated the Indiana Fever 93-77. With this victory, the Mystics (26-16) are now just one game behind the fifth-place Fever (27-15) with only two regular-season games left. The Mystics led by as much as 26 points in the first half and maintained their lead throughout, while key players for Indiana struggled, including Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell who shot poorly from both the floor and beyond the arc.

Story summary
On Sunday, the Washington Mystics defeated the Indiana Fever with a score of 93-77 in a crucial matchup that tightened the playoff race. The Mystics' victory narrowed the standings gap between them and the Fever, who now have just two regular-season games left. Leading scorer for the Mystics was Kiki Iriafen with 21 points and 14 rebounds; Shakira Austin contributed an additional 20 points and 10 rebounds. Despite standout performances from Indiana's Caitlin Clark (25 points) and Kelsey Mitchell (22 points), their combined shooting struggles limited them to just 14 of 40 field goals, including a poor 6-of-20 on three-point attempts. This loss leaves the Fever in jeopardy as they face the league-leading Minnesota Lynx next week, crucial games that could impact playoff seeding.
