"I did think it might be a good way to go about adding an extra layer of motivation for the team, but Temepara prefers we not focus on it," said Fuller.
"So we haven't discussed it as a group at all and that's been led by Temepara.
"She doesn't want to be singled out, she never has done - she's very humble."
George, who's been shortlisted for the league MVP award, has played every single quarter for the Mystics in their 69 games since the inception of the transtasman competition four years ago.
Monday night's showdown between the two neighbouring Kiwi franchises will be a rematch of last year's preliminary final in Hamilton, where the Mystics edged out the Magic by one goal to book a grand final date with the Queensland Firebirds.
But this year, the two sides head into the fixture in almost the reverse situation.
The Mystics, who were beaten 56-50 by the Vixens in the major semifinal, will host the final by virtue of their top-two finish, but it's the Magic who have shown better form recently. The Waikato-Bay of Plenty side have not lost a game since April 21, stringing together 10 straight wins including their thrilling come-from-behind victory over the Adelaide Thunderbirds in the minor semifinal this week.
Fuller said her side would not be intimidated by the Magic's recent hot streak. "Momentum is a catchphrase people like to throw around out there," she said, "but really it comes down to whichever team can apply pressure and execute for longer on the day."
