WASHINGTON — When the Washington Mystics fell behind the Indiana Fever 20-2 on Thursday, in a game they had to win to keep their playoff hopes alive, things looked dire. But head coach Eric Thibault went to his bench, and the Mystics flipped the situation on its head, reeling off a 20-4 run to close within 2 points at the end of the first quarter.
The Mystics kept surging from there, scoring 30 points in each of the next two quarters to lead by as many as 17 late in the third quarter.
