The Connecticut Sun honored their two Olympians, Asjha Jones and Tina Charles, after Wednesday night's final home game before the London Games.
Asjha Jones tied her season-high with 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Tina Charles added 13 points and 10 rebounds, and the Connecticut Sun cruised to a 77-64 victory over the Washington Mystics Friday night.
Tina Charles had 30 points, nine rebounds and four assists, and the Connecticut Sun beat the Washington Mystics 94-86 on Sunday.
A look at the four first-round series in the WNBA playoffs, which start Thursday:
The Mystics followed a well-traveled road in their game against Connecticut on Thursday night, falling behind early and mounting a comeback that fell short. Through a combination of unforced turnovers and offensive struggles, Washington trailed by as many as 17 in the first half en route to losing 79-71 at Verizon Center, in its second straight defeat.
Connecticut's Danielle McCray had more than a year to think about what it would be like to play her first WNBA game.
Renee Montgomery scored 20 points and the Connecticut Sun held off the Chicago Sky 78-71 Friday night.

"I was feeling pretty good in warm-ups," Jones said. "One of the first couple of plays we ran was for me to get the ball inside. I made the first shot, and then just kept trying to be aggressive from there."
Jones' offensive rebound led to a Lawson bank shot, and Jones added a put-back to give the Sun a 40-33 halftime advantage.
