Tamika didn't force things tonight. She plays great games, even when she doesn't shoot. When she shoots, that's even a bonus.

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.

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.
bonded chemistry enjoying good great group players ride team
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. This team has very good chemistry and they show it on the court.
We think we're two-deep at most every position.

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.

We shot the ball well tonight. I think we had a pretty good flow going. It's going to be a totally different game in New York. They're a very good team, an experienced team with a lot of playoff experience.
