We showed what we're made of and how strong we are as a team. We were very focused in the fourth quarter. It was tough. The crowd was screaming, and you can't hear your coach on the floor, so you just have to play through it and not get too excited out there. Mira Costa really was pumped and came with it, but so did we.
