The Washington Mystics 2012 relied on Crystal Langhorne as their primary offensive and rebounding presence, while Monique Currie provided consistent wing scoring and Matee Ajavon added secondary perimeter production. Temeka Johnson directed the offense as the team’s lead playmaker, helping facilitate a balanced attack. Washington’s statistical profile reflected dependable interior scoring and ball movement, but limited overall offensive efficiency and outside shooting placed greater pressure on its core contributors.
Washington continued to build its offense around Langhorne’s polished post game, asking her to score efficiently despite constant double teams. Associated Press coverage repeatedly pointed to her consistency and professionalism during an injury-filled season, and she remained the club’s lone All-Star despite the team’s struggles. (WNBA)
