She's a great player. I've played with her and against her in high school, and I knew what we were getting.

In my opinion, big-time players want the ball in big-time situations. I just saw an opening and I saw Alison Bales step up. She's very long and I knew if I got it over her, it felt pretty good. So as soon as it left my hands I knew it was going in.

And I even felt her fingertips as I was holding my follow through. So, she did a great job contesting. I just had a lot of confidence. And I knew I wanted to take the big shot so I just took it.
