Summary
Sydney Johnson was ejected with 3:52 left in the third quarter after drawing two technical fouls and being escorted to the locker room by police during Washington’s game at Atlanta.
A foul called on Mystics guard Alicia Florez Getino against Dream star Angel Reese triggered the outburst, and Johnson kept arguing at the scorers’ table despite assistants and players trying to restrain him.
Johnson later said, “I lost my cool,” adding that officials “did what was appropriate.”
Atlanta rolled to a 109-77 win behind Rhyne Howard’s 19 points and six steals and Reese’s 18 points, 17 rebounds and four steals.
The result lifted the Dream to 7-3, while Washington fell to 4-5 despite 24 points from Kiki Iriafen and 18 from Sonia Citron.
