Another team probably looking forward to the break is the Washington Mystics. They could do little right in their 82-60 loss to the visiting Sun.

Ashja Jones was on a mission to put the bad Verizon Center vibe behind her and succeeded with a game high 27 points.

The Mystics were on a mission to continue their improved play under interim coach Jessie Kenlaw, but instead reverted to their old ways. "It's all about making progress," Kenlaw said. "We can learn from [the loss] but it's one thing to talk the talk. Now we have to start to walk the walk. And the thing we have to do is do it consistently. It's not about winning a game here, losing a game there. We've got to get to the point where we do consistently what it takes to win."
