Washington MysticsvsSeattle Storm
WSH 85/SEA 97
Things to say
Seattle Storm beat the Washington Mystics 97-85 at Climate Pledge Arena.
01
Storm took care of business at home, 97-85 over Washington. Hiedeman was cooking off the bench. Mystics just couldn't keep up in the second half.
02
key player
Natisha Hiedeman dropped 24 and was a flat-out problem — every time Seattle needed a bucket, she had it.
03
hot take
Washington's offense looks lost without a real number two. Citron with 16 to lead them? That's not gonna cut it.
04
deep cut
Jade Melbourne quietly ran the show with 6 dimes. Rookie's got some poise — Seattle's backcourt depth is real.
05
exit
Storm at 3-4 now, finally finding a rhythm. Curious to see what they look like on the next road trip.
The recap
Storm took care of business at home, 97-85 over the Mystics. Natisha Hiedeman was the story — 24 points and just absolute buckets all night, carrying Seattle when they needed someone to step up.
Washington never really got into a rhythm; Sonia Citron led them with 16 but nobody else could buy a bucket to keep pace. Mystics took the L and drop to 2-3, Storm climb back to 3-4.
