WASHINGTON — Shannon Bobbitt made a floating layup at the buzzer to give the Indiana Fever a 61-59 victory over the Washington Mystics on Friday night.
Tamika Catchings led Indiana (13-6) with 16 points, as the Fever won its third in a row and swept a two-game, two-day trip.
"I think our intensity the last two games has just been really high," said Catchings, who added nine rebounds and five assists.
Matee Ajavon led Washington (3-14) with 19 points, but missed a 17-foot fadeaway jumper with 18 seconds left.
Katie Douglas won an ensuing jump ball after a tie-up. After a timeout, Bobbitt took the inbounds pass, faked a pass as she drove the lane and hit a relatively uncontested shot for her only points of the game.
