The Tempo jumped out to an early 20-9 advantage after a 3-pointer from Isabelle Harrison. And the host team maintained its double-digit lead for the remainder of the contest.
Brittney Sykes powered the offense with 25 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Nyara Sabally added 15 points and 16 rebounds, and Harrison contributed 14 points and six rebounds off the bench.
Following an 84-81 win over the Los Angeles Sparks, the Sun have dropped their last three games. The latest setback was an 89-80 loss to the New York Liberty on Monday night.
Connecticut trailed by as many as 12 in the third before pulling within 85-80 with 45.9 seconds left to play. But Breanna Stewart scored off a putback to help New York hold on down the stretch.
Aaliyah Edwards and Olivia Nelson-Ododa led four double-digit scorers with 15 points each. The duo also combined for 13 rebounds. Soniya Rivers added 12 points, five rebounds, and three assists for a Connecticut squad that has dropped 11 of its first 13 games.
Toronto enters this battle as a 7.5-point favorite. Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
The Tempo are coming off a double‑digit win, while Connecticut continues to struggle. Toronto brings a top‑five offense to the floor, and the Sun simply don’t match that firepower. With that efficiency gap, the Tempo should control this matchup by a wide margin.
