They led the league with the fewest turnovers. We can't expect to win two games in a row in causing the league's best in non-turnovers to make more turnovers. That's why we have to improve on some things.

I've always liked her. She's got her head in the game, plays hard and plays for a good coach. She knows how to compete at the championship level.
