The Stars (3-11) are last in the Western Conference.The Mystics on Sunday defeated the visiting Lynx 87-63 at the Verizon Center, handing Minnesota just its second loss of the season. Washington limited forward Maya Moore to five points (14 below her average) and held guard Seimone Augustus scoreless for the first time in her 11-year WNBA career.It started on our defensive end, Washington guard Tayler Hill said on WNBA.com. We came out with so much energy and pressure in full court and that translated into our offense.Hill and forward Emma Meesseman are each having the best seasons of their careers. Meesseman, who scored 16 of her 20 points against Minnesota in the first quarter, is averaging 15.1 points per game. Hill is at a team-best 15.8.Meesseman was the WNBA leader in 3-point shooting (54.2 percent) entering Tuesday nights league action.Defensively, the Mystics focus will be on San Antonios Kayla McBride. The third-year guard is averaging 18.6 points per game and is coming off a 28-point effort in Saturdays 73-69 victory over the Atlanta Dream. That ended a four-game skid for the Stars.I was just sick of losing close games. Im serious, McBride said. As a leader and as a competitor, I felt like I had to step up. There were contributions from everybody, but to bring that energy and to be that leader and that scorer that I like to be, that was good for us.Washington has won six of its past eight games to get to .500 for the second time after an 0-3 start. San Antonio, which is 0-6 away from home, is starting a three-game road trip that includes visits to Indiana and Minnesota.This is the first meeting of the season between the teams.

The week leading up to the Hobart Test has been dominated by talk of contrasting success with reverse swing. Australia, through Josh Hazlewood, have made clear their envy of South Africas ability to get the ball moving. South Africa, through Dean Elgar. have admitted their attack enjoys the reverse-swinging ball but distanced themselves from having any special ability to get the ball to scuff up.Now Faf du Plessis has rendered the debate irrelevant, with his verdict that he does not think reverse-swing will come into play in Hobart.Perth was really dry, the wicket was hard. That second new ball we took on the last day, it was three overs in and there were big chunks out of the ball, du Plessis said. Here will be different. Its lush, its green, its soft, its wet. It will seam and swing, it wont reverse that much.Rain is forecast for the first three days of the match but on the off chance things dry up, du Plessis said he believed Australia were just as capable of working on the ball. He knows as much from personal experience, having faced a reverse-swinging ball as early as the 25th over in Perth.To say it was only for us is definitely not true, du Plessis said. I faced a brilliant spell from Starc, bowling around the wicket, reversing the ball a hell of a lot. It was extremely difficult. I think it waas exactly split down the middle 50-50 in terms of reverse.dddddddddddd.We were watching the first innings and they got the ball to reverse in the 25th over. I was quite impressed. I was trying to see how they were doing that because it meant they were getting something right. They were getting it to go early.The difference, according to du Plessis, was in how the two batting line-ups fared. We had batters that were in and batted for long periods of time, he said. When youve got big partnerships, it just looks easier. I remember in the second innings I came in and the first ball nipped and swung and I was like, What is going on here? These guys have got a partnership of about 300, it should be a lot easier than this.If you get a wicket, reverse-swing will always be more difficult for guys coming in. Thats a fact. They just lost more wickets, thats why it was a little bit harder for them.But now that the series has moved on, du Plessis does not want to dwell too much on reverse-swing and focus instead on seam movement and conventional swing, which will come into play at the Bellerive Oval. I think, to be really honest, its been blown out of proportion a little bit, he said. ' ' '
