PHOENIX — Karlie Samuelson came off the bench to score 19 points and the Washington Mystics continued their late-season playoff push with a 90-77 victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Thursday night. Washington, which opened the season with 12 straight losses, has won five of its last six to pull a half-game behind the Chicago Sky and Atlanta Dream for the final spot in the postseason. Phoenix won just once in a five-game homestand, beating Atlanta 74-66 on Tuesday to clinch a playoff spot.
