Natisha Hiedeman Dropped 24 Points, And The Storm Aren't Done With Washington Yet!
Holy moly, Seattle! If you missed the last Storm game, you missed a SHOW. Natisha Hiedeman just went absolutely OFF, dropping a monster 24 points to lead our Storm to a massive 97-85 victory over the Washington Mystics. The Emerald City faithful were buzzing, and now, in true Seattle fashion, we get to do it all again! Our beloved Storm, sitting at 3-4 overall, are ready for the rematch against the Mystics this Wednesday night right here at Climate Pledge Arena. You can feel the energy building already, can't you?
Hiedeman's Firepower Ignites the Arena!
That 97-85 win against Washington on Sunday wasn't just any win, it was a statement. Hiedeman didn't just score, she dominated, putting up 24 points that had everyone on their feet. Last season, our Storm showed what they could do as a team, averaging 21.3 assists per game on 31.1 made field goals, and that unselfish play is definitely showing up again early on. We wrapped up last year at 23-21 overall and went 10-12 at home. This season, our 2-2 home record needs that Climate Pledge energy to get back to winning ways. Meanwhile, the Mystics were 16-28 overall last season, going 6-16 on the road, and they struggled defensively, giving up 81.6 points per game while committing 18.2 fouls. Those numbers tell you everything you need to know about the kind of defensive pressure the Storm can apply.

Our 3-4 record puts us 7th in the Western Conference right now, 1.5 games back. It's early, but every game matters for building that crucial momentum! The Mystics are 2-3, sitting 6th in the Eastern Conference, 2 games back. They're a 2-1 Eastern Conference team right now, but our Storm have shown we can beat them. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, though. We're battling some injuries, with Dominique Malonga currently listed as day-to-day with a concussion, and Ezi Magbegor out with a foot injury. We're going to need everyone to step up and rally behind the team for this big game. It's about finding that early season form and pushing through!
So, here we are, Seattle. The Storm are set to clash with the Mystics again this Wednesday, May 27, at 7:00 PM EDT, right in our house, Climate Pledge Arena. We've got the 1-0 season series lead, but the Mystics are coming back hungry. This isn't just another game, it's a chance to build on that incredible Hiedeman performance, show our depth, and start climbing those standings. Let's get loud, Seattle! Let's show Washington what the Emerald City is all about and make Climate Pledge a fortress!
