The Mystics stayed winless, and the Shock stayed lossless.

Exploiting some Detroit technicals and turnovers, Washington closed the gap in the third quarter, but the better team pulled away again in the final frame.

Bill wasn't happy with the effort. "We played well offensively, running well, but 24 turnovers, that's terrible," he said. "Knowing that we could score with relative efficiency, we got a little lackadaisical. There were some dumb turnovers."

Washington got to the line a bunch, but other than that, it was just bad. 36% shooting, 20 turnovers, 11 assists. Adubato might be leading a dubious race.
