Anne Donovan Second Quotations

She's a great player. In the second half she was trying to take it over. We had (Tanisha) Wright on her for a while and Betty doubled on her pretty well.

It feels good (clinching a playoff spot). But there are still two more home games left and we would like to have homecourt advantage with that second seed (in the Western Conference).

We relied too much on Lauren in the first half. We made sure (Betty) knew she had the green light. Her second half was the difference.

The second half, we came out and cut it to 10, and felt real good about the momentum. The crowd was in it, with just two minutes off the clock and already we had done that damage.

Very happy about the defense tonight. Holding them to 19 points and 20-percent shooting in the first half was solid, and I was happy to see that we didn't let up in the second half.

In the second half we encouraged (Lennox) because we know they would focus in Lauren Jackson. Most impressive on her play was her ability to to knock down open shots and get to the free throw line.
