We just lost her. That's how alert we were. We talked about it. We knew they couldn't beat us with a two. I told our team, if they drive to the basket, let them go. |
We kicked them good on the boards and that made up for some of it. We had some key stops when they got close and we got good shots against them. Now we go home, and we have to play better. |
We make our living with trying to stop teams from scoring and making it hard on them, |
We talked about it. An assistant coach suggested fouling, but I rejected it because I was afraid we'd foul them shooting and get beat that way. Hindsight couldn't have been worse than what happened to us. |
We were flat, and didn't score. |
We were flat. Our offense, you know, we didn't score, so I can't be happy with that ... We just didn't execute. |
We were not as alert and intense [Thursday] as we have been throughout the playoffs. We played like we had tired legs. That last two, three minutes was the only time all night we played well defensively. We got ourselves back in the game and got control and had the lead. When we play that way, I think we can win, but there was just a breakdown. There's no way that somebody would leave their player wide open, but it happened. |
We weren't impatient. We just weren't moving. |
We will regroup, ... This, in no way, will be regarded by us as a firing. We both understand that a different direction would be best for both Henry and the Sparks. It is an amiable situation for us both. |
We're on a mission to win the West and get homecourt advantage and every four-minute stretch is important to us. We stayed focused tonight. |
we're saying Game 3, but she could play in Game 2. |
We're tickled to death, of course, to come here and play a great team like the Sun and get away with a win. |
We've only won what we've won before, we have to win the next series to get into the finals for the first time. But beating them two straight is quite an accomplishment. |
When she came to our preseason, she saw our (new) players and has been going strong ever since. |
When you shoot the ball, everything becomes easier. We're facing a team known for its offense, but Connecticut plays pretty good defense, too. |
