Anytime you can score a basket at the end of the half like that -- a 3-pointer, a post move, whatever -- it's going to give your team a confidence boost. |
But it's not done yet. We've still got a lot more to do. |
I think another area is just playing with poise. You get in a lot of pressure situations, and I've been known to be a little turnover-prone. I'm working on the turnovers a little bit. |
I'm not worried about Mo -- at all. |
It doesn't matter how much tape you watch or who has the best game plan. I feel like in this game it comes down to who has the most heart. |
Just looking at the scoreboard and seeing we were up by [27] -- that was unbelievable to me. |
She was a little intimidating, not as a person but just on the court because she's so physical and she's so intense. One of my first practices I attempted to guard her and we were playing to '7' and I think all seven points were scored on me. |

Whenever she does say something, you know that she means it because she's not yelling every single play. If we're down and she pulls the team together and says, 'We're going to do this, this and this, and we're going to win this game,' you honestly buy into it because it's credible. She doesn't just talk to talk. |
