They were missing their best player and their top outside scoring threat. That had something to do with the outcome.

If you're the best player, surely you're going to have some effect on the outcome of a game. And I've said this from Day 1: I've never given anybody in my career more free rein in my career. And I went to the conference finals (in Indiana) with Haywood Workman as a point guard. With Eric Snow, who was the fourth-string point guard in Seattle. He went to the NBA Finals (with Philadelphia).

Lacy was on top, but the scoring was so against Robin Reid.

She has a great all-around game. She plays inside and outside. She guards the top-scoring opponent. She's intense, too. She just hustles so much all the time.

In our top squad we've got eight injured and a lot of them are outside backs.

The difference tonight was intensity and execution -- things we lacked all year.
