Erin Thorn scored a career-high 24 points to lead the visiting New York Liberty to an 85-80 victory over the Charlotte Sting.

The former Brigham Young player, who entered the game averaging 6.2 points, made two free throws with 10.9 seconds to go to cap the scoring.

Mystics 74, Fever 67: At Indianapolis, Alana Beard scored 21 points and DeLisha Milton-Jones added 19 as Washington beat Indiana.

Despite the loss, the Fever clinched a playoff berth with New York’s win over Charlotte. It’s the third playoff berth in Indiana’s seven-year history and its second in a row.
