This is the best defensive team I've had. I thought we'd be able to defend and keep it in the 50s and if we did that, we'd win. But we just didn't make too many shots in the fourth quarter.

They played great, and each kid responded to what they had to do.

That was a gutsy play by [Jones]. She was not shooting well, and to be aggressive and attack like that shows me a lot about her mental toughness.

You're saying that you thought you were an accomplice or that you assisted somebody in breaking the law?

I think it's a reasonable thought that if it went beyond the All-Star break that would make it difficult to do something.

For what we can do at this point in the season, I thought they did the best the could. ... I thought they played very well together and obviously there's room to get better. The stuff we're doing in practice was paying off.
