The tremendous run of the Seattle Storm is slowly cementing their place towards the top of the standings. In yet another clinical exhibition last night, the 4x WNBA champions managed to brush aside the Dallas Wings 97-76 on their home court. However, the underutilization of rookie Nika Muhl is a cause of great discomfort for its supporters. As a result, head coach Noelle Quinn is under some serious public scrutiny. Still, that doesn’t stop the 23-year-old from celebrating her team’s efforts.
A stamp of authority by the Storm means that now they are 7-1 at the Climate Pledge Arena this season. This was made possible by their starting line-up, all of whom made sure to cap off the night by registering a double-digit score next to their names. Following this, the 2× Big East Defensive Player of the Year showcased what a great team player she is by appreciating her team’s commendable contributions.
Nika Muhl shared the franchise’s official Instagram post in her story displaying the numbers of Nneka Ogwumike, Ezi Magbegor, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Jordan Horston, and the team’s top scorer Jewell Loyd for the night.

In addition to this, there was a phenomenal double-double by Jordan Horston who had 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists in the bag. Meanwhile, Nneka Ogwumike, Ezi Magbegor, and Skylar Diggins-Smith accumulated 16, 13, and 11 points respectively.
As for Nika Mulh, she spent only 3 minutes on the floor. These restricted minutes resulted in just one offensive rebound to go along with a personal foul. Nonetheless, she still managed to grab some spotlight courtesy of her pre-game antics.
Nika Muhl slays it with her tribute
The tunnel walk for UConn’s all-time assist leader took no time in becoming the talk of the town. Nika Muhl decided to make her way to the Climate Pledge Arena in a respectful yet stylish way by donning a USA jersey of WNBA legend Swin Cash.
As a result, this pre-game outfit became a hit among fans the moment Seattle Storm’s official X page decided to share the look. Further, the combination of this No.15 jersey with denim shorts and brown-colored heels was able to grab huge traffic as more than 15,000 viewers viewed it in the opening minutes.
