Lawson scores 24 points, Mystics rally to beat Sun 89-82

The Mystics (8-6) pulled away with a late 10-2 run. Stefanie Dolson scored three of her 20 points during the run, and Sanders hit consecutive mid-range jumpers as Washington broke the 10th and final tie to take an 84-76 lead with less than a minute left.

The Sun's scheduled game Saturday with Indiana was postponed when the Fever were unable to fly, and the travel irregularities continued as the Sun took Amtrak to Washington, arriving at midnight, instead of flying Sunday morning.
