The Sparks suffered their 10th loss in the last 12 games as they fell to the Mystics on Saturday.

Minnesota continued its dominant season with another statement win over Las Vegas, but several difficult tests remain on the schedule.

Sonia Citron scored 21 points, Shakira Austin had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the Washington Mystics rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat the Los Angeles Sparks 80-70 on Saturday night. Kiki Iriafen added 19 points and eight rebounds for Washington (20-14), which was coming off two straight losses at Las Vegas. Austin's layup with six minutes left in the fourth quarter gave Washington a 65-64 lead, its first advantage since it was 41-39 at halftime.

The Sparks missed Cameron Brink's presence on the defensive side of the ball as an upper body injury sidelined her from the Mystics game.
