Seattle Storm W x Washington Mystics W Placar Final 79-84 — Jul 12, 2026 | Placar, Box Score e Estatísticas

Both the Washington Mystics and Seattle Storm enter this matchup in rough form—Washington is 1-4 over their last five games with losses to Golden State, Connecticut, and Minnesota, while Seattle sits 1-4 as well with defeats to Atlanta and Phoenix. However, the Storm have a significant head-to-head advantage, winning both regular season meetings (97-85 and 64-78) against the Mystics. The head-to-head data is particularly telling: Seattle has cracked Washington's defense on both occasions, and the Mystics' most recent loss came at home against Golden State, a blowout that suggests defensive lapses at the Entertainment and Sports Arena. Despite playing away, Seattle's experience in close games and proven offensive efficiency against Washington give them the edge. The Mystics' home court advantage will keep this game competitive, but their 3-point loss to Connecticut on the road (68-57) and defensive struggles suggest they will struggle to contain Seattle's attack. Pace is likely even, as both teams are in defensive-minded stretches. Neither team is clicking offensively, so expect a lower-scoring affair in the 155–171 range, with the total likely landing under 165.
