WASHINGTON — The plans going into Wednesday night’s game for the Washington Mystics was to have forward Elena Delle Donne, who missed Sunday’s game due to a scheduled day off, in the lineup, but the team soon had to find its resolve — which it did — when it saw an early departure from its star during its pursuit of revenge against the defending WNBA champions.

Ariel Atkins scored 19 points while Alysha Clark scored a season-high 18 points as the Mystics defeated the Chicago Sky 84-82 at the Entertainment Sports Arena on Wednesday. Rookie Shakira Austin chipped in with 14 points and six rebounds as Washington snapped a two-game losing streak, a stretch that included a loss in Chicago to the Sky on Sunday.
