We're so close, and sometimes the scores may not reflect that, but we're so close to being competitive in this league. There's a lot of things we're doing better now that we weren't doing at all earlier in the year. Coach always says it's a marathon, not a sprint, but that's the truth.

A lot of it is misleading because he has had some close matches. The scores just don't indicate it because he's blowing them open in the last period. He could easily have lost a match or two this weekend, but he's capitalizing when he's in a position of advantage. He's turning people and making things happen.

Paige is a presence, whether she scores or not. It's awesome to have her in there and, [even] if she doesn't give us 28 points ... she's still one of the best out there. She takes the attention off everyone else. Maybe I had an open shot because they're doubling down on Paige.
