The quote: "It was a great day," Moore said. "It starts on the court. The team came out and really executed and had a great first quarter and a great third quarter. That really helped give us a cushion when Atlanta made that run. The energy in the building was great. I saw a bunch of people I knew that were there to support me. A lot of players from my former AAU team, the Georgia Metros were there, so I wanted to reach out to them and say thank you for coming. I was just glad that they were there to scream for my Lynx."
"It is a different feeling as a pro," said Moore, who played at UConn. "In college, I didn't get as much time to interact with the fans and let them know my appreciation. Here it's a little more laid back and I can interact a little bit more. There are different fans too that come between the college and pro game. So hopefully people that haven't watched the WNBA before will want to come back now."
On the court, "the speed is the biggest change. Just going too fast sometimes, rushing at times. So it's just about getting into it and slowing down and playing with poise. That's what my coaches always tell me to do so just continue to see what that looks like as a pro. With the great talent I have around me, it's whatever I need to do for the team and making something positive happen for the team. Everyone is more talented, stronger and longer. I have to make more adjustments on the defensive end."
