Fair, Washington's 17-point lead in the August 28 rematch puts the offence under the microscope, but I'd start at the other end. The Mystics won rebounds 34-23 and still lost 88-82 while Los Angeles shot 56%, scored 50 in the paint and won fast-break points 12-2. Add Washington's 17 total turnovers to LA's 10, and the Sparks found their advantage without needing the offensive glass. If Washington cannot create the first stop or prevent transition, the half-court offence is solving the second problem first. https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/basketball/wnba/summary?event=401857183
