Natisha Hiedeman

When you find yourself this wide open, a double take is required just to confirm the good fortune. As a 40 percent career shooter from behind the arc, Natisha Hiedeman rarely gets a look this clean, and down 2-0 in the WNBA Finals to the Las Vegas Aces, it couldn’t have come at a better time. Following a miss down low by a Connecticut Sun teammate, the play is kept alive thanks to sheer hustle in crashing the offensive glass. When the ball swings back out to an all-alone Hiedeman at the top of the key, the Sun guard hesitates for a moment, taking an extra second to line up the shot before burying it to give her squad a 12-point fourth quarter cushion. Hiedeman connected on all three of her triples en route to 14 points, three rebounds and nine assists in helping the Sun avoid elimination in the 105-76 Game 3 triumph on September 15, 2022.
