few game guys played sloppy
The guys played pretty well. I'd give them a B-plus. They got sloppy at the end of the game and made a few errors.
believe consistency explode guys lead relaxing runs score trend
The guys believe that they can explode for some runs and that helps. I'd like to see them score with more consistency though. There is a trend of them getting the lead and then relaxing a little.

She's a terrific player. Any time a player produces 26 points on 14 shots, that's a great game. . . . She was going to have to beat five people tonight, not just one person.
jump player plays reason shooter team terrific wins within
She's a terrific jump shooter and plays within herself. I think she's a player who probably is the reason this team wins a lot of games.
