"Brian Joseph Winters" is an American former basketball player and coach. He attended academic and athletic powerhouse Archbishop Molloy High School in Queens/Queens, New York, graduating in 1970. He then played collegiately with the University of South Carolina and was the 12th pick in the 1974 NBA Draft, taken by the Los Angeles Lakers. He made the NBA All-Rookie Team with the Lakers, and was then traded to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of the trade that brought Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the Lakers. He had a productive, if unspectacular, nine-year career that included two appearances in the NBA All-Star Game and playing on six playoffs teams. Winters averaged 16.2 points and 4.1 assists over his career, with his best years coming from 1975 to 1979 when he averaged over 19 points and slightly less than 5 assists per game. His number 32 was retired by the Bucks.

Tamika didn't force things tonight. She plays great games, even when she doesn't shoot. When she shoots, that's even a bonus.

We had too many turnovers and we gave up too many rebounds. We got beat.

In the first half, we just got in too big of a hurry against the zone. In the second half, we did a much better job. We were patient, we moved the ball, we made some shots.

It's great for the franchise. I'm enjoying the ride as the coach. I've got a group of players that have really bonded together and playing awfully well together. This team has very good chemistry and they show it on the court.

They were playing hard. They have some talent on that team. They haven't given up. They were very aggressive defensively. That got them back in the game. The good news is we found a way to win.

She has the ability to step her game up in big games. She did that last year in Seattle when Sue Bird went out. She showed how good she was. When Sue couldn't play with her broken nose, she came in and played extremely well.

You're not going to do that to her too often. We played Tully (Bevilaqua) on her this time. She's a little stronger than Kelly Miller. And we played zone. She didn't get a ton of shots against the zone.

The biggest play of the game is when Alana Beard throws it up in the air to herself and then makes a 3. That should never happen. How that's not seen — I have no idea how a play like that stands.

I thought the key was to play zone against them. They had trouble figuring out our zone, and we got the lead.
