On getting more opportunities near the basket<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angel: Yeah, when Kamilla is not here, I try to take advantage of it as much as I can because she\u2019s a great post player. We let her work when she works and I think this off season, I worked on me trying to be able to drive to the basket and get to the cup and finishing. I went through a storm for the first eight games where I couldn\u2019t finish. It was frustrating but I trusted my work and my teammates trusted my work. Finally coming through and finishing efficiently.<\/p>\n

On taking control of the fourth quarter <\/strong><\/p>\n

Angel: I think we just wanted it more. I think we build off each other\u2019s energy\u2026Everybody stepped up tonight and played their role\u2026I\u2019m really happy. Kudos to E [Elizabeth Williams], she\u2019s done a great job stepping up and being in that role\u2026She brings the right energy every single day, she\u2019s super positive, she knows a lot and she\u2019s experienced.<\/p>\n

On second chance opportunities <\/strong><\/p>\n

Angel: I think a lot of times when I got the rebound last year I would go right back up [and have three people around me] and now we have amazing shooters where I can just kick it out, they make the three and that\u2019s why I have seven assists. It just leads to points. When you get rebounds, it\u2019s never a negative. When somebody can\u2019t stop you on the boards, that leads to more points for us. I look at it as a positive. Everybody looks at it as a negative but I look at it as a positive. I only had four O-boards so it wasn\u2019t just \u201cMebounds\u201d tonight.<\/p>\n

On her defensive efforts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angel: I love defense\u2026I take it very personally\u2026I take pride in my defense. Defense leads to offense.<\/p>\n

On her stats today [only four WNBA players have achieved this type of game- two were L.A. Sparks legends Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker whose number was retired today]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angel: Yeah, I\u2019m just trusting my work. I put my head down every day and just grind. That\u2019s all I do. I don\u2019t do it for cameras, I don\u2019t do it for publicity\u2026I talk to Lisa all the time. And congratulations to Candace, obviously everything that she\u2019s done. I watched her as a little girl. It means a lot to me to be able to be named with such great players.<\/p>\n

On her brother Julian being signed by the Los Angeles Lakers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angel: I\u2019m so proud of my brother\u2026it makes me super emotional just because I know his journey. And obviously, the work isn\u2019t done yet\u2026So I\u2019m really happy for him\u2026I know my mom is really proud and I really hope he gets the opportunity to play in the league because I know he deserves it.<\/p>\n
