The Silver Stars went 15-2 at home this season, what makes them such an effective team at AT&T Center?
"It�s easier to play at home. They just made sure to really take care of home court advantage. They did what they had to do."

What are the most noticeable characteristics the team lacks without Rebekkah Brunson in the lineup?
"We�re going to have to make up for her aggression and energy. She�s a great rebounder. We have to try and get two or three rebounds from other people. And just personally, I have to be more aggressive offensively and defensively. You can�t make up for her absence. What she can do on her own, you have to make that up with more than one person. She�s very talented."

How will your experience playing at San Antonio last year in the Playoffs help this time around?
"We don�t want to feel that (loss) again this year. People think they�re going to come out of this series easily, so we have something to prove. We�re a team to be reckoned with, and I think we match up very well with San Antonio. We�re just excited about playing. We have nothing to lose. Nobody thinks we�re going to do it but us. We�re just going to have fun."

How is the team's focus affected when you go on the road?
"It�s win or go home. We�re a loose team. We�re a fun team. It�s the same environment as it was during the regular season. We don�t want to take ourselves too seriously. We don�t want to take the game too seriously. We have fun and appreciate each and every day and game we have together."

What part of the Silver Stars defense does the team want to exploit?
"We do the same thing. We don�t really think about what to attack offensively. We try to get the mismatch and always try to get the shot that�s given to us. Of course, we know our main scorers are Kara and Nicole but they get a lot of their shots out of the offense. We have to just run our plays and do what we do."
