Kara Lawson Game Quotations

If you were playing on an opponent's home court in a do-or-die situation, how would you come out and play? So to put a gauge on how bad they're going to want this game and in our house, and how hard they're going to fight to get loose balls. It will probably be at the highest level.

We're looking at this as a must-win. We're looking at this as the only game left and we certainly hope it's the only game left. We don't want to fall into the trap of saying you've got two to win one. ... We know they didn't win 26 games because they laid down and quit, or because they laid down and died. So I expect it to be, if we are to win, our toughest win of the season.

It was their first game without her (Smith), we didn't want to underestimate them. She was a franchise player, I don't know what that would feel like not playing with someone like that all of a sudden.

Me and Nicole were real nervous before the game.

One player is not bigger than the team. A some point during the season, we've pretty much had every one of our starters miss time or miss games and we've been fine. It's unfortunate, the timing of some of our injuries but that's the way basketball goes. We have confidence in each other.

I threw the ball away in the last two minutes, so it was nice to have it in my hands afterward. I've always dreamed of winning a title, and I have the ball in my hands when the game ends.
