excellent final gave great huge kelly typical
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.
force great plays
Tamika didn't force things tonight. She plays great games, even when she doesn't shoot. When she shoots, that's even a bonus.
amount great grit loss played sparks team tremendous
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.
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.
against executing great offensive random shots
We got away from having so many random offensive situations. We got a little better executing our plays. Against New York, I thought we got great shots against their zone, and they just didn't go in.
deep draft four matter seeing veteran
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.
almost last meets points triple wins
We get all the points at our meets because of him. He wins the high, triple and long jumps, and the 200 at almost every meet. That's 40 points. We scored 63 points last week. You do the math.
gave
We had too many turnovers and we gave up too many rebounds. We got beat.
community conducting front involved kids playing responsibility stay supports visiting whether
When you're playing in front of the community that supports you, you have a responsibility to give back. Whether it's conducting clinics, visiting kids or making appearances, it's very important to stay involved with the fans.
ability bird broken came extremely game good last played seattle step sue year
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.
arm extremely gave performance pick sore
She gave us a tremendous, gutsy performance in being extremely sore and not being able to pick one arm up.
bit feeling healthier
She's just feeling a little healthier and getting in a little bit better condition.
knew playoff
They've been around a long time, and they've been in a lot of playoff games. We knew they weren't going to give up.
balanced defend difficult gets guy lock might sure
They have a balanced attack, and you are not sure who is going to be the guy each game. It makes it difficult to defend them because you might lock down one guy and the other gets you.
