Washington Mystics assistant coach Jennifer Gillom left the locker room last night singing Etta James Flo Rida.
Our resident Washington Mystics fan asked whether DC fans should be happy or angry after last night's close loss to the Minnesota Lynx.
It appears that the Mystics coaching staff has an answer.
- Mark Giannotto of the Washington Post reports that Washington Mystics assistant coach Jennifer Gillom left the locker room singing Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" after "an encouraging loss" to the defending champion Minnesota Lynx last night.
