At the moment, Washington are firing on all cylinders, riding a seven-game winning streak. They recently put on an impressive display against Phoenix, cruising to a 95-75 victory. The Mystics have shown significant improvement since the start of the season, and their offensive output is trending upward - making their season average of 81.6 points per game less relevant right now.
