"In her first season she took us to new heights, you know, her motivation, her believing in us every day, that's in every player, so we appreciate her a lot," Ogunbowale said of the team's first-year coach.

"I'm going to say this: words can't express it. I can sit here and say I'm so happy for them, and they've done a great job, the championship mentality. I feel like I have loss of words. I just think that's not enough for them. I mean, they're amazing," Trammell said following the game.

The team had a champagne toast after the game to celebrate the victory.

The Wings will face the defending champion Las Vegas Aces in the next round of the playoffs.

The Aces won three of the four head-to-head matchups in the regular series.

Game 1 of that series is Sunday in Vegas.
