Mystics guard Leilani Mitchell is rolling after a slow start with Olympics on the horizon

Against the Connecticut Sun, Mitchell put up nine points and had four turnovers in a 90-71 loss. In the previous three games she averaged 19.6 points and 5.3 assists while making 15 of her 28 three-point attempts. Those three games coincided with Mitchell returning to the starting lineup as Thibault has been forced to juggle his rotation because of injuries to Elena Delle Donne (back), Myisha Hines-Allen (knee), Natasha Cloud (ankle) and Erica McCall (knee).
