Teams Preview

Toronto Tempo

The Toronto Tempo showed plenty of fight but were ultimately overpowered in a 97-82 loss to the New York Liberty.

Brittney Sykes and Marina Mabrey led the scoring with 17 points each, while Nyara Sabally added 11 points and 6 rebounds, but their efforts weren’t enough.

Offensively, Toronto shot 45.3% from the field, including 31.6% from the perimeter and 80% from the free throw line. Defensively, they got outrebounded 40-32 on the boards, giving away second chance opportunities and allowed the hosts to convert 43.8% from beyond the arc.

Despite the defeat, Toronto remains one of the more competitive expansion teams in recent WNBA history. The Tempo showed resilience throughout the contest, but against an elite Liberty squad, their defensive lapses and rebounding issues proved costly. The focus now shifts to regrouping, as Toronto looks to bounce back in its next outing.

Overall, the team averages 72 points per game, while dishing out 14 assists. Defensively, they record 27.5 rebounds and allow opponents to score 78 points per game.

Chicago Sky

The Chicago Sky delivered one of their most complete performances of the season in an 85-80 victory over the Connecticut Sun, snapping a five game losing streak and showing much needed resilience on both ends of the floor.

Skylar Diggins Smith led the scoring with 24 points, while Azura Breeona Stevens added 13 points and 10 rebounds, a double-double. Natasha Cloud also registered 13 points and both Kamilla Cardoso and Elizabeth Williams added 10 points each.

Offensively, Chicago shot efficiently, hitting 46.3% from the field, 37.5% from the perimeter and 77.3% from the free throw line. Defensively, they got outrebounded 40-28 on the boards, but made multiple defensive stops through 9 steals, 7 blocks and forced the Suns to commit 15 crucial turnovers.

The win highlighted the growth of Chicago’s young core, with the team showing improved composure in clutch situations. After several frustrating losses, the Sky finally converted competitive play into a result, earning a confidence boosting victory. If they can maintain this defensive intensity and offensive balance, Chicago could use this performance as a turning point for the remainder of the season.

Overall, the team averages 91 points per game, while dishing out 18 assists. Defensively, they record 28.5 rebounds, but allow opponents to score 97.5 points per game.
