Delisha Milton-Jones is a heck of a defender, and so is Charlotte Smith-Taylor. They did a nice job on (the play), but we had a chance to win the game and that's what we wanted. |
For all the players that will return for our team, they'll know and have a taste for what high-level playoff basketball is about. Having this experience is irreplaceable. |
I can't think about two games. I'm just thinking about one. Because if we lose the next one, it won't matter. |
I said before the draft that we have a pretty veteran and deep team. But I like the four we've chosen. Now it's a matter of getting them in here and seeing what they can do. |
I thought the key was to play zone against them. They had trouble figuring out our zone, and we got the lead. |
I thought we played with a tremendous amount of grit and intensity. We were disappointed in the loss in L.A. (69-59 to the Sparks on Saturday), but we rebounded very well and really had a great team win. |
If we can improve next year and continue to move ahead, we can get back here again and get a chance to win a series like this and get to the WNBA Finals. |
In our circumstances, we don't have a particular positional need. Consequently, we're going to take the best player who comes to us. If that's a big player, great; if that's a perimeter player, great. |
In the first half, we just got in too big of a hurry against the zone. In the second half, we did a much better job. We were patient, we moved the ball, we made some shots. |
It's great for the franchise. I'm enjoying the ride as the coach. I've got a group of players that have really bonded together and playing awfully well together. This team has very good chemistry and they show it on the court. |

Nat (Natalie Williams) gave us a great game, and we got excellent contributions from our bench. And, of course, Tamika (Catchings) had a typical all-around game. And Kelly (Miller) was huge in the final minute. |
She gave us a tremendous, gutsy performance in being extremely sore and not being able to pick one arm up. |
She has the ability to step her game up in big games. She did that last year in Seattle when Sue Bird went out. She showed how good she was. When Sue couldn't play with her broken nose, she came in and played extremely well. |
She's just feeling a little healthier and getting in a little bit better condition. |
