That said, it\u2019s not bad when you\u2019re seeing timely shots like this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Or Kiki Iriafen making shots like this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">By the time the fourth quarter came around, it was a back and forth affair with both teams not shooting very well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Shakira Austin led the Mystics with 17 points while Iriafen added 15 points and 11 rebounds.

For the Sky, Sydney Taylor led with 15 points off the bench while former Mystics guard Natasha Cloud started but was scoreless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">All in all, this game was not bad work considering that Sonia Citron was out tonight due to a foot injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Mystics\u2019 next game is on Saturday when they play the Atlanta Dream on the road.
