What happened: Natisha Hiedeman knocked down each of her first three attempts from beyond the arc in the Seattle-Portland Commissioner's Cup matchup. The run had her a perfect 3-for-3 from long range as she found an early rhythm from the perimeter.

Why it matters: Early perimeter shooting can swing tempo in a Commissioner's Cup game, where group-stage results shape seeding for the in-season tournament. A shooter heating up from deep forces opposing defenses to extend, opening driving and passing lanes for the rest of the lineup.

What to watch: Watch whether Hiedeman sustains the hot shooting and how Portland adjusts its perimeter coverage as the Commissioner's Cup matchup plays out.
