It also included things the team could do better, as Munson explains, like letting Chicago creep back in towards the end of the game. Per Munson, \u201cit was much closer and more stressful than I think fans would have liked.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Later on, Heavren asks Munson what the team needs to do to finish the season strong. Munson\u2019s answer? The little things, which are the elements that will keep them consistent. \u201cThey rarely give up,\u201d Munson says. \u201cThere were plenty of games where they really pushed it \u2019til the last second \u2026 They need to learn from their mistakes, not make them again, and stay focused throughout the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-fl-body-bg-background-color has-background has-small-font-size\">Your business can reach over 3 million women\u2019s sports fans every single month!<\/p>\n<p>Here at <a href=\"http:\/\/thenexthoops.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The IX Basketball<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/theixsports.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The IX Sports<\/a>, our audience is a collection of the smartest, most passionate women\u2019s sports fans in the world.
