Crystal is a great player, ... She is one of the best shooters in the league. Unfortunately she broke her pink finger and she hasn't been shooting the ball as well since, but you have consider her other attributes just as much, and those are her great defense, her rebounding and just being intelligent on the court. She brings a lot to the table.

We didn't buckle down on the defensive end, ... We didn't take care of our individual defense. We had to give too much help, so we left shooters open.

We have one more game left. When we go to Indiana we need to make a statement, and let them know we're ready to play.

When you win, that's fun.

At that point, ... I thought we were over the hump.

Being among the playoff leaders but not having a championship like some of the others drives me a lot, ... To win a championship would complete my career. But I know it takes a lot of hard work, team effort. It's not going to be easy. I've been in the Finals four times and haven't won one yet, but hopefully this is the year we can pull it together and get one.

I expected us to win this game at home. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way. Now, we have to do it the hard way. We have to get that win (tonight) and hopefully force a Game 3.

[Although Baranova won't be available for the Liberty's season finale tomorrow against the Indiana Fever, its first-round opponent, her teammates believe she will be ready for the playoffs.] I think she'll be back, ... Elena is a warrior.

I can't even put it into words. I'm shocked. I thought we were going to win this game.
