Published 7:20 pm Friday, July 29, 2011

As would be expected, the Indiana Fever defeated the Washington Mystics on Friday. Not quite as expected was the manner in which they did it.

The Fever needed a driving layup by Shannon Bobbitt at the buzzer to give the Fever a 61-59 victory over the Mystics.

Tamika Catchings led the Fever (13-6) with 16 points. Indiana has won three-straight.

Matee Ajavon led the Mystics (3-14) with 19 points.

In Friday’s other game, the Minnesota Lynx defeated the Seattle Storm 92-67.
