Jade Melbourne contributed 11 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in 24 minutes of play during the Mystics’ 95-86 loss to the Sparks on Sunday.
Melbourne was efficient in her opportunities to score the basketball. She hit an open three-pointer on a cross-court pass from Emily Engstler, and took both Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby off the dribble for scores. Her four assists were to Stefanie Dolson, who made a wide open three-pointer above the break, Shakira Austin who scored on a drive, Sonia Citron with a transition three-pointer and Kiki Irafen taking down Hamby within the paint, using her footwork to out-master the veteran.
