The Mystics scored 33 points in the 4th quarter -- tying a league record -- and ran away from Charlotte.

"Everything just all came together in the fourth quarter and that's the way we need to play all season," Chasity Melvin said. "We have to play team basketball and not settle for jump shots like we did in the first half."

The Sting looked pretty sloppy with Helen Darling, and really sloppy when she went out with a hamstring injury. They committed 26 turnovers, including 16 in the second half. "Our rookie came in and wasn't able to get the job done tonight," coach Bogues said of LaToya Bond, Darling's replacement.
