They were beating us in ways that we normally beat other teams.

At 35, Yolanda did not want to waste a year, ... But I explained that we were reloading, not rebuilding. We were just adding some young shooters around her. Eventually, she didn't want to be traded.

When she came to our preseason, she saw our (new) players and has been going strong ever since.

We're on a mission to win the West and get homecourt advantage and every four-minute stretch is important to us. We stayed focused tonight.

We weren't impatient. We just weren't moving.

Yolanda's only thing when I started making all the changes was she requested that I trade her because she thought that I was rebuilding, ... We had an old team; she knew we needed to rebuild, get younger. I told her, 'I'm not going to trade you. You're too good and I can't replace you, and I'm not rebuilding, we're just reloading.'

We were flat, and didn't score.

[And she does a lot of it on just her own grit and determination.] We don't run a single play for Yolanda, ... She creates her own opportunities.
