It speaks to the players' confidence in each other. We've seen a lot of situations over the years last two, and if things don't go their way, they don't get down... We continue to get better, and, to the players' credit, with the success we've had, they've kept it in perspective.

They were trying to help down in the post on Ellen. We missed a lot of them, we didn't deliver the ball early enough when people were open. We were hanging onto it too long. We didn't shoot the ball great from 3-point range, but Heather knocked hers down and we got enough open looks.

In some ways, winning a (close) game like this against a team that's been really hot at home, is maybe a better game for us right now than to control it from start to finish like we have in recent games. It shows us we can win on the road in a tight situation.
