Matee Ajavon scored 17 of her 28 points in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t prevent the Mystics from falling to their second last-second loss in three games.
Crystal Langhorne added 23 points, as Washington (4-15) put together a 19-6 run during the fourth quarter to take a 67-61 lead, only to see Atlanta close the game out on a 11-3 spurt.
