WNBA Recap: Mystics blow away Storm in first game without Rollins


Washington Mystics 89 - Seattle Storm 57- One day after the Mystics fired head coach Tree Rollins, interim coach Jessie Kenlaw led the team to a blowout victory over the Storm. Taj McWilliams-Franklin of the Mystics led all scorers with 22 points. Katie Gearlds led the Storm with 13 points off the bench. One notable player not at the game was Lauren Jackson, who is currently in Australia preparing for the Olympics in Beijing.

Connecticut Sun 74 - Chicago Sky 67- Asjha Jones' 23 points were more than enough for the Sun to defeat the Sky. Lindsay Whalen added 20 points of her own for the Sun. The Sun snapped a five game losing streak

Sacramento Monarchs 88 - Detroit Shock 85- Rebekkah Brunson scored 18 points for the Monarchs as they knocked off the Shock. Deanna Nolan's 27 points weren't enough for the Shock.

With the Shock's loss and the Sun's win, the now Shock hold a two game lead over the Sun in the Eastern Conference. Each team has three games left before the Olympic break.

The Shock play LA at home on Tuesday, Houston on the road on Thursday and San Antonio at home on Sunday.

The Sun will play LA at home on Thursday, Washington on the road on Sunday and Indiana on the road on Monday.

Anything can happen, especially in the Eastern Conference.
