She's a very good player — she's averaged 19 points a game in her career. She adds a dimension to our starting lineup and makes it more efficient. I've always planned on her becoming a part of the lineup in the future, but we decided that the time was right.

The Finals are about a test of wills.

This was huge. If we lose this game, we're probably toast. We can't get the Charlotte game back, so we needed this one.

I didn't want to get somebody hurt in a meaningless game. We have a good bench, and they played hard.

I think that we will need to finish at least 4-2 to be assured of a playoff spot.
