Overview
- Toronto rallied from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Connecticut 101-97 after outscoring the Sun 37-23 in the final 10 minutes.
- Marina Mabrey scored a career-high 37 points and made nine 3-pointers, tying the WNBA single-game record with a 9-for-12 mark from long range.
- The Tempo played the game without Brittney Sykes, Nyara Sabally and Kiki Rice because of injuries, forcing veterans and reserves into expanded roles.
- The win snapped Toronto’s three-game losing streak and moved the expansion team to 8-8, while Connecticut dropped to 2-15 and extended its skid to seven games.
- Toronto now faces an immediate depth test on its June 22 trip to Atlanta as the team looks to convert Mabrey’s outburst into sustained momentum and as Brittney Sykes’ foot injury is evaluated.
