ANNE DONOVAN:
On the aggressive play against 
Lauren Jackson:
I think Lauren is used to that. No matter who guards her they play physical. Sophia Young got the worst of that with her foul trouble. She continues to carry us. And lead the way through multiple defender coverage, a lot of physical play, and not nearly enough free throws in my opinion that she should be getting. She just dominated Sophia down at the other end.
On playing against San Antonio:
The second half at San Antonio we played very well. Tonight we played very well but we're going to have to figure out how to beat this team. We'll likely see them in the first or second round if we continue where we are. We need to figure out how to guard Becky Hammon.

They're a veteran team. There are definitely things we can do to get better.
On whether the Storm match up well against San Antonio:
Yes and no. We match up as far as the stat sheet goes but they just seem to play a lot more jelled than we do. They just played well. We've got to learn how to contain all of their players. Obviously Becky Hammon is a great scorer. We've got to focus on everybody else.
We needed win that game and it's getting closer to playoffs but still I think we have so much room for improvement. It wasn't all bad but we definitely need to work on some things. We're getting to the top team in our conference.

SUE BIRD:
On San Antonio as a possible playoff opponent:
Exactly. They're a very good team. They're number one in the west for a reason. They just play very well together. That's one team I can say that when you play against them it's hard. They find the open man, they run their plays, it seems like they always make the right read, and they're very tough to play against. You never want to have a team own you. They kind of own us, beating us four times. Hopefully if all goes well we'll see them in the first round. I'm sure they'll feel a little confident and hopefully it will give us motivation.
