When we went down there that, as a U. S. basketball player, you're kind of like a rock star off the court, but the minute you step on the court you are the most hated opponent that there is.

Thats why you keep three point guards on most teams, so if you have this situation youre not in real trouble. Were prepared for these kinds of things. We didnt prepare for it to be in the first game of the Finals. But it happens, so well just try to deal with it and hope something good happens.

We had a bad offensive game. We had a lot of good open looks and we didn't make them. We had really good open shots and it's normally the strength of our team, but when you combine Katie Douglas, Nykesha Sales, and Lindsay Whalen shooting 5-for-30 between the three of them, it's hard to win. When you get that many open shots and don't make them, you are probably not going to win.
