Mystics win marathon matchup, beat Fire in record-tying 4 OTs

WASHINGTON -- Sonia Citron scored a career-high 32 points, including the basket that put her team ahead to stay with 21.4 seconds left, and the Washington Mystics held off the Portland Fire 124-123 on Sunday in four overtimes -- tying the longest game in WNBA history.

The other four-overtime game was July 3, 2001, when Washington beat Seattle 72-69. The Mystics and Fire combined for 247 points, the second most in a game in WNBA history, including playoffs........

Michaela Onyenwere scored a career-high 30 points and Kiki Iriafen added 27 for the Mystics (9-9), who became the first team in league history to have three players score at least 27 points in the same game. Citron, who scored 25 in the fourth quarter and overtime periods, and Onyenwere became the first duo in Mystics history to each score 30 or more in a game.

Carla Leite -- who banked in a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime -- led Portland with 32 points. Sarah Ashlee Barker scored 25 and Megan Gustafson added 20 for the Fire (8-12).
