She is what we call a lifer around here. She's been coming out to practice or games every day since she was 4 years old. She started out as one of my [summer] campers, and now she is on my [camp] staff. She's very responsible and great with kids.

I'm beginning to understand it more and more watching her and talking to the coaches. There are a lot of similarities to basketball as far as setting screens and getting open. Paris really likes playing lacrosse.

We were right there early on, and then the bottom sort of fell out. We missed some easy shots, we missed some free throws. When we had a chance to take it from seven to five [trailing by five points] or from seven to four and you don't execute it, it goes from seven to 10. That's what happened, and it got away from us.

It starts with defense, and it ends with defense. Our pressure was great.

He's a whiz. His speed and quickness are unmatched. When he's on, he's difficult to control.

I thought, the first half, we were right there, doing a lot of good things. The second half, it seemed like every time we'd make a little run, they'd hit a shot.
