QUOTES OF THE NIGHT:

Head Coach Lynne Roberts

On improvement on limiting turnovers:

“That's a great job, and that's something that has been hurting us a little bit, and Indiana's incredibly physical defensively, and they're active… and for us to only have seven giveaways like that is really [an] improvement, and 22 assists. I'm proud of our team for that. We were down eight in the fourth quarter, and our players didn't flinch, and that's the sign of toughness and playing to win, and… next-play mentality, so there's a lot of positives there. But seven turnovers, for me, is a big one, and being down eight in the fourth, and just not panicking, and not getting discouraged. That’s how you win games.”

Kelsey Plum

On running the offense efficiently:

“Coaches emphasized [efficient offense] all year, just shot quality, and I thought tonight we did a really good job moving the ball. It's super evenly distributed in field goals, which is what we want. We want everyone to be a threat, we want everyone to be firing on all cylinders, and… it was cool tonight. Everyone took turns in picking their spots, and [Azurá Stevens] hit some big shots, Rickea [Jackson] hit some big shots, and it was a great team win.”

Azurá Stevens

On the Sparks’ performance tonight after Thursday’s loss:

“Obviously, we felt like we let the New York game kind of get away from us in that third quarter. I think Indiana went on runs tonight and we withstood them, so it's just growth. It's growth. I'm proud of the team for not just disintegrating when they went on their run. We just found a way to come back and punch it right back at them and made tough plays at the end. Rickea [Jackson] was really great at the end just coming through with that clutch and-one. [Kelsey Plum] was steady all game, [Dearica Hamby] was steady all game, Julie [Allemand] had some big plays. Everybody came in and played well. So, I'm just proud of us for fighting back and bouncing back after the New York loss.”
