The Mystics&#8217; record-breaking performance was made even more impressive by the fact that they played the game without one of the league&#8217;s all-time great three-point shooters, guard Kristi Toliver.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">Shey Peddy, who signed a seven-day contract with the Mystics to fill Toliver&#8217;s roster spot, drained a three-pointer with 1:21 remaining in the game for the record-breaking moment. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">Tiffany Mitchell led the Fever with 17 points while rookie center Teaira McCowan had 14 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for Indiana.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;\">*Editor&#8217;s note: Above the byline is the photo gallery from Sunday&#8217;s action, with all photos taken by DC-area photographer Yusuf Abdullah.
