I’m more impressed with some of the defensive plays we made, steals, tips in the lane, rebounds in traffic. I thought they all stepped up and did that.

Once we made that first run, they weren’t able to match it.

We were sitting in the Seattle locker room after we lost, … and we knew that with two more wins, we would have had the game on our court. I think it was an eye-opener....

Jim’s NBA career was all about determination. No one studied the game more. He had notebooks on every single player he ever faced. I bet he still has them.

She is at that level [of Taurasi]. We’re playing and they’re not. I don’t mean that as a slap. Lindsay’s role is different than Taurasi’s at Phoenix. Taurasi has to handle the load of point...

I guess I’m not much of a prognosticator, because I thought we would play our best game of the series today, and we played our worst. They’re disruptive (defensively), but by this point in the...

She can post up and shoot the three, she’s a good passer, maybe a little bit more aggressive offensively than Brooke was sometimes, defensively. She’s a smart defensive player, but I don’t think she has...

I thought we had some, I would say, not crisp or efficient possessions in the second half. [The Fever] make you play that way, too. They jump out and switch. But it makes them spend...

I told them don’t toss it [the ball] to the other team, toss it to the guys in the blue jerseys.

We’re excited to finally have Erin with us. I think she is one of the best young point guards in the world. This signing will give us the opportunity to play both her and Lindsay...

We have a very persistent persevering team here, but we didn’t make shots when we needed to tonight. They have what we wanted. And it’s hard to take.

They only scored 24 points from their halfcourt offense (Sunday). It’s that simple. Their initial offense didn’t do much. Getting a second shot, turning us over, that’s a lot of points. If you say that...

People forget that it took the NBA over 20 years to reach this (point),

It was a very rugged basketball game for long stretches. Bodies flying everywhere … a lot of fouls … but we kept our poise at the end. We played good enough defensively at the end...

They’re disruptive, … but by this point in the series we should be able to better handle it. I think that at least 60 percent of our turnovers (Sunday night) were us. You can’t have...

It had nothing to do with the last shot, it was what he said. They won the game, but instead of being gracious, he had to make a smart-(expletive) comment. They beat us fair and...
