close decisions fourth near poor second third won
We won the second quarter, and then when we won the third I thought we could close the deal. But near the end of the fourth we got made some poor decisions offensively.
close easy played quarter second
It's easy to get short-sided and just look at the end when it's a close game, but we've got to look back at the second quarter when we played so poorly.
key sole wiped
Rebounding was the sole key to the game. We got wiped out in the rebounding stats.
against biggest carry games great huge minutes next played rest team win
I think it is the biggest win of the year. We played 60 minutes against a great team and especially a team in our division. We know that all those games are going to be huge for the rest of the season. It is only one game so we have to carry that on to the next game.
boston choice gave good nice picked point prove season tonight toronto traded
My whole point this season was to prove to Boston they made a good choice when they picked me up. It was nice tonight especially after I started with Toronto and they kind of gave up on me and traded me.
defense key limited played
We didn't give up a lot. Our defense played well, limited their chances. They didn't get a lot and it was a key part to our victory.
against beat fun game nice playing playoff points team though trying win
We're still trying to win every game we can even though we know we're not going to make the playoffs. It's fun to go against a team playing for something and to try to take away points from them. It's nice to beat a team that's in the playoff hunt.
defensive intensity kept minutes played plays year
When (Whitney) plays well, we're going to be in any game. She probably played more minutes than she has all year because she kept her defensive intensity up.
control stop until
We're not going to stop until it's official. If it is, that's when we stop. But for us, anything can happen. We just have to go in and control what we can.
felt fortunate
We felt fortunate it was just a one-point game.
decision expectation fit game tough trying
Right now I'm going in with the expectation of me doing well and trying to play my game and make them make a tough decision on where I fit in.
advantage atlanta came hard heels sat team took
It was us, we sat back. We've got to go hard and keep pressing and we didn't do that. We sat back on our heels and a team like Atlanta with the firepower they have, (they) came out and took advantage of it.
earlier hang last lead losing period third
Earlier in the year, our mind-set when losing a third period lead was to hang our heads. But now the mind-set is there and it has been for the last month.
beginning excited feeling
I'm feeling comfortable now. At the beginning of the season, I was just excited and was going on a lot of energy. But it slows down and you get into a rhythm. I know I can play in this league.
