Toronto trimmed a 10‑point deficit to four right before the break and later pulled within two at the 2:00 mark in the third quarter. But that was as close as the Tempo would get. Las Vegas responded with timely shot‑making and defensive pressure, keeping Toronto at arm’s length the rest of the way

Kia Nurse was the team’s top scorer, finishing with 19 points, four rebounds, and four assists off the bench. Temi Fagbenle chipped in with 13 on 5-of-8 shooting. The Tempo’s offense featured five double-digit scorers, but the balanced production wasn’t enough to slow down an Aces’ squad that converted 52 percent of its shot attempts.

Seattle looks to regroup following a blowout loss to the Wings

Meanwhile, the Storm are just 1-14 following their last win on Jul 6. Their most recent debacle was a 92-70 setback against the Dallas Wings on Sunday.

Seattle trailed 17 after the first quarter and by as many as 35 in second period. The only positive stretch was a 14-0 run heading into halftime. Even so, the road team still trailed by 21 points (56-35) and never mounted a serious threat the rest of the way.

Flau’jae Johnson scored a team-high 23 points and made five of the team’s 12 three-point baskets. Jade Melbourne added 15 points and four rebounds. Even still, Seattle struggled overall, shooting 34 percent overall and 31 percent from 3, numbers that made it impossible to keep pace with Dallas’ efficiency.
