Hiedeman scores 24, Johnson adds 17 and Fam 10 in her debut as Storm beat
Mystics 97-85
SEATTLE (AP) --- Natisha Hiedeman tied her career high with 24 points, rookie
Flau'jae Johnson scored a season-best 17, and the Seattle Storm beat the
Washington Mystics 97-85 on Sunday in a game that featured 75 total free
throws, including 52 in the second half.
Seattle's Awa Fam, the No. 3 overall draft pick, made her WNBA debut and
finished with 10 points in 20 minutes. The 6-foot-4 center, who turns 20 on
June 17, joined the Storm on Friday after helping Valencia win the Spanish
League title. She scored her first WNBA points with a layup off a pick-and-roll
with Johnson late in the second quarter.
Seattle made a season-high 13 3-pointers on 28 attempts and hit 32 of 34 (94%)
shots from the line.
The Mystics hit 35 of 41 (85%) from the foul line, and shot just 20% (4 of 20)
from beyond the arc.
Stefanie Dolson scored 16 points with perfect shooting. She went 3 of 3 from
the field, 2 of 2 from 3-point range, and 8 of 8 from the line for the Storm
(3-4). Zia Cooke added 10 points.
Dominique Malonga, who leads the Storm in scoring (16.0 points per game) and
rebounds (7.3), missed her fourth consecutive game due to the concussion
protocol.
Sonia Citron led the Mystics (2-3) with 16 points. Kiki Iriafen, Georgia Amoore
and Angela Dugalic added 13 points apiece, and Shakira Austin had 12.
Hiedeman hit a 3-pointer that gave Seattle the lead for good early in the
second quarter, and her long floater with 1.8 seconds left in the period made
it 49-37. The Mystics trailed by double figures throughout the second half.
Johnson made 7 of 12 from the field and finished with seven rebounds and five
assists.
Seattle beat Connecticut 77-59 on Friday to snap a three-game skid.
