Silver Stars Head Coach Candi Harvey:
 “Give
Phoenix credit, they’re scrappy and don’t give up. As long
as we can continue to attack in our aggressive mode, we’ll be in
great shape.”
On Jennifer
Azzi - “ She was very aggressive. She had control of the floor and
the game.”
On Sylvia
Crawley - “She was huge off the bench. We have high expectations
for Sylvia. Tonight was an indication of what she is capable of doing.”

Dydek:
 “We
just want to get a couple of wins before the All-Star Break. We
still have the second half of the season to try and make the playoffs
and fight for a championship. We need to get our confidence back.”
On
being chosen for the All-Star team - “I still have
the season to worry about. Maybe after the Sacramento game I’ll think of the All-Star game.”

Head Coach John Shumate:
 On
keys to the game - “We didn’t rebound very well. There
was a big differential on the boards. The points in the paint were really
lopsided
too.”
“They
shot well and they have a great player in Marie Ferdinand and Goodie
had a good night.”
On team defense - “Offensively we had droughts here and
there but we did force 25 turnovers.”
“I liked our defensive intensity. I thought we did a great job
with our pressure defense but we have to keep fighting to find the
right combination on the floor.”
On Silver Stars run to start the second half - “When you come out, you can’t give up a layup right away.
You’ve got to be smart enough and aware enough not to let that happen.
The first five minutes are very critical and they out played us. ”

Williams:
 On
Mercury offense - “We
took to many quick shots.”
“Usually
when we play them, we make a big run and when we got to within
nine in the second half, I thought we were going to turn on
our jets, but we just didn ’t make a run today.”
On
Silver Stars keys - “They had the 6th man in the crowd - they
were really loud tonight. ”
“Marie
Ferdinand got really aggressive and when she got to the line, she staye
don the line.”
On
Azzi’s
buzzer beater - “There
wasn’t just one shot - there
was an onslaught of shots.”
On personal
play - “I might have gotten down on myself because my shot wasn’t
going in. I jammed my finger in practice yesterday and so today I was
figuring out a way to help my team so that’s when I decided to
hit the boards.”
