Anne Donovan Half Quotations

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.

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.

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.

We just had to rely so much on Lauren in the first half and she really came up big for us. You know she wasn't 100 percent, but sometimes when you're hurt you are focused only on the game itself.

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.
