Natisha Hiedeman said that the numbing medicine used by the dentist left her feeling drowsy, due to which she had to send a pleading message to Cheryl Reeve.

“I'm going to be a little drowsy tomorrow, so I just have to tell Cheryl, you know, just take it easy on me. Take it easy.”

Natisha Hiedeman kept the Minnesota Lynx’s winning streak alive against the Phoenix Mercury

The Minnesota Lynx took on the Phoenix Mercury on May 30. The game came down to the wire, with the score tied with just a few seconds left on the clock. Stars like Kayla McBride and Napheesa Collier were on the floor for Minnesota. However, it was Natisha Hiedeman who stole the show and sank the game-winning 3-pointer to keep the Lynx’s perfect record alive.

She finished the game with nine points, five rebounds, two assists, and two blocks while going 3-for-6 from the field (1-for-2 from 3). Hiedeman was by no means the best player on the court that night, but she showed up when it mattered most, leading the Lynx to a 6-0 record. The team is now 8-0. Hiedeman's contributions off the bench have played a huge role in Minnesota's perfect start.
