In the second quarter, the tempo really changed ... I didn't think we did a good job in our transition defense, and they got a lot of scoring out of that. Offensively, we didn't attack and execute well.
We know we have to put pressure on Becky and handle the pick-and-roll ... We took them out of a lot of their first and second (scoring) options, and made them go to their third and fourth. About six or seven times in the second half, they were shooting with 6 seconds or less on the shot clock.
This is a really good time for me ... I feel like my stamina is much better. I'm sure some of the other players around the league are probably a little more tired than I am.
San Antonio is the best team in the West, so we know we have our work cut out for us
L.A. is just big and athletic, and pounds you on the boards ... It has to be about us and us playing our style and our tempo.
This is a tough season for us ... It was like (getting) three new, great players and incorporating them with a whole new team.
We just have a lot of talent, work hard, believe in each other and have great chemistry in the locker room, on the court ... And regardless of what other people were saying about us, we believe in each other.
