"I WENT OVER there to de-escalate the situation," Natisha Hiedeman says.
With her pink hair poking out of her blue hood, she's explaining her role in an incident at the end of a Minnesota Lynx-Seattle Storm game. The details don't matter much.

Seattle's Skylar Diggins rushed toward McBride. Hiedeman stepped in and had a few words for Diggins.
