Saturday marked Burton's seventh career double-double and second of the season as she tallied 11 points and 11 assists against the Mystics. Burton was just one shy of her season-high of 12 assists. Her elite vision was highlighted in the second quarter when she hustled to snatch the defensive rebound and tossed the ball over her shoulder to a running Gabby Williams for her to lay it up and in.
