With the exception of Samarie Walker, whose personal situation didn’t seem to fit with the (nobody’s fault, certainly not Samarie’s), this is what I saw:
There was no traditional team leader. Everyone lead in their own way. A mutual respect by everyone to everyone. A sense of cooperation and support. No one was shut out. There was no clique. Everyone liked everyone else. They understood each other. Even the end of the bench felt comfortable in speaking up. Among themselves, they were all equals. They played with each other with an obvious joy.
To me these were the reasons they went so far. I give the coaching staff the credit for fostering this atmosphere and recognizing the players knew what they needed to do to create a superior team.
