Brittney Sykes scored on a lob pass at the buzzer to lift the Washington Mystics to a 90-88 win over the New York Liberty on Sunday to close out the regular season.
Sykes, who finished with 20 points, caught the inbounds pass from Natasha Cloud in the lane and put it in before the buzzer, ending the Liberty's eight-game winning streak and any chance to get the top seed in the playoffs.The final play was set up after Breanna Stewart blocked Elena Delle Donne's shot on the baseline with 0.5 seconds remaining.
Cloud worked the clock down before getting the ball to Delle Donne, who drove baseline before getting blocked by Stewart. It was a tight first half with the teams tied at 50 at the break. Washington built its lead to 69-57 late in the third quarter before New York closed the period on a 10-2 run to get within four heading into the fourth.
