The Mystics remain incredibly difficult to guard because they’re skilled *and* keep you spread.

Can’t give Emma Meessenan 1-on-1 coverage, but you also can’t fully rotate off of Myisha Hines-Allen.

Help caught in-between. Kickout comes. Sloppy close-out leads to a pull-up.
Essence Carson gets the bucket here, but Hines-Allen is your MVP of the possession.

Fever try to ICE this early wing PnR, so Hines-Allen smartly flips the screen to help Carson get downhill.

The big can’t leave Hines-Allen, which gives Carson a clear lane after the hesi.
🚨 DOUBLE DRAG ALERT 🚨

Shey Peddy goes right off the pair of screens. The second one clips Peddy’s defender, giving her a 1-on-1 with Teaira McCowan in space.

It goes about how you would expect it to.
Looks like the Fever are gonna ICE all of these. A better pass probably gives Meesseman a three-point attempt.

At any rate, look at how quickly she chews up space on the attack. Quick fake flows right into the shot. Not much you can do.
Whew, Leilani Mitchell!

Mystics push after a miss and flow into a ball screen. We get a switch this time, in which Mitchell wins with a dirty up & under + the foul.
