The Indiana Fever picked up their second win of the season after defeating the Seattle Storm at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday, 89-78. Caitlin Clark led the way for her squad, scoring a game-high 21 points along with 10 assists and two blocks.

Seattle, on the other hand, was led by eight-year veteran Natisha Hiedeman. She scored a team-high 19 points and had two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal.

Unfortunately for Hiedeman and her squad, they failed to get any sort of run going throughout the game. Clark and the Fever dominated them, leading by 20 at one point.

The Storm dropped to 14th in the standings with a 1-3 record, while Indiana improved to 2-2.

Natasha Hiedeman comments on Caitlin Clark’s actions

Clark went to work against Seattle during their game. She was efficient for the Fever, shooting 50% on both the three and the field. The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year was also 100% on her free throws.

On top of that, Indiana’s star guard also highlighted her defensive prowess. In one sequence, Hiedeman drove to the lane, and Clark stripped the ball away, resulting in a block.

This led to a hilarious gesture as Clark put on a smug face after the block. She then did the famed Dikembe Mutombo finger wag before laughing it out with Hiedeman.

In the highlight video posted on Instagram, Hiedeman left a hilarious comment about the defensive sequence.

The Seattle guard said, “The president play too much ”

This shows great camaraderie, and there is clearly nothing but love between the two players. Playful banter now and then is great for the players and for the WNBA.

As for Hiedeman, she’s been in the league long enough to understand that players come in and take the WNBA by storm. Clark has been this type of player, helping boost the league’s popularity ever since she came.
