Famous quotes by Lindsay Whalen:
"Besides, it's all about the team. If you get too caught up in your own individual awards, it takes away from your focus and it takes away from being a part of the team. Always put the team first. That's what my dad always taught me. Share the credit. Take the blame. That's how you have to be."
"It felt like a track meet. I was getting a little winded out there. I just wanted to stay aggressive, stay in the middle and create things that way."
"You earn victories like this just by sticking with it and digging down,"
"They came out and played great defense, ... But the thing I liked was, for a while there, they weren't scoring either. I was happy with the way we played defense while we were struggling."
"We know [Detroit] will come back and play even harder next game."
"We knew they were going to make a run at us. We just had to settle down. We weren't panicking. We just became more ticked off at that point."
"It could be worse, ... I'm already kind of running around and jumping. They kind of said to me `just see how you feel.'"
"I feel good, ... We'll just wait and see what it's like (today). I can't really say today whether I'll play tomorrow, the next day or even next Sunday."
"I ran the rest of the game, ... It's just a little swollen and a little stiff. It's not painful. It's not horrible pain. Obviously, I played with it in the second half. I was conscious of it, so I could feel something wasn't exactly right. I just played through it. After the game there was some swelling, and then (Sunday and Monday) there was a little more swelling."
"Obviously it won't be healed before the end of the finals, but it's one of those situations where the swelling, if it can go down, and it's not in the worst possible spot ... Obviously it cracked in the first half (Saturday) and I played the second half, so it wasn't like I was incapable to run, ... Obviously there's swelling and there's some stiffness in there, so right now running I wouldn't be able to do. But you never know over the next few days how things work. We'll just wait and see what happens."
