Jordan told me, 'Mom, I love watching you play. You're going to be MVP.' This is for him.
It reminded me a lot of Game 1. They got out to an eight-, 10-point lead, and then we fought back. Game 1, we just couldn't get over the hump. ... (Tonight) everyone was just really determined.
I got in a rhythm in the second half and everything seemed like it was going well,
Sacramento is playing very well right now, they are hungry for a championship, ... It's probably because I'm in the Western Conference, but I think they will win it all.
The only thing that would make this better would be if we were in Houston today getting ready to play Game 3, ... Unfortunately that's not the case, but I'm excited just to be here today.
We really focused on trying to slow her down a little bit and making somebody else do something to beat us. The game plan we had, defensively especially, really worked.

TV is what sells your product.
We want to celebrate this, ... But I told them in the locker room, we can't forget about the Sparks. We owe them something.
