The Storm were in front for the entire first half, but Washington battled back to tie the game on Currie's three-pointer near the midway point of the third quarter.
The Mystics failed to take the lead, however, and Seattle was up 55-47 by the end of the third courtesy of two free throws from Tina Thompson in the final minute of the quarter.
