What is the focus over the last few days?

Coach Wright: “Growth….There’s no debate that we don’t have the experience yet to get over, but as long as we are growing and learning, we’ll eventually get better.” (Q: @EGlazeOTV)#AtlantaDream #WNBA #WNBATwitter pic.twitter.com/4swk9judQ6

Post-Game – HC Tanisha Wright

“I thought it was a good gutsy win from us,” Coach Wright said. “We showed a lot of toughness tonight, a lot of which has been missing from us all year. People down. Next man up mentality. We relied heavily on our two all-stars, and they came through.”#WNBA #WNBATwitter pic.twitter.com/WT7PtvTETx

Post-Game – Cheyenne Parker

Cheyenne Parker added to Wright’s thoughts, crediting her teammates and coaches for bringing out her career best. “They stay on me. They stay in my ear and remind me, ‘You got this. Fight through it. Push, push, push.’ They helped me through each possession.”#WNBA #WNBATwitter pic.twitter.com/4VlVVBVUvM

LAST NIGHT:@JameelahJNBA asked Cheyenne Parker (@1_born_queen) about her ability to guard smaller players.
