Overview
- The Toronto Tempo, which beat the Seattle Storm on Saturday, improved to 5-4 with a 93-72 victory at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
- Marina Mabrey led Toronto with 18 points while rookie Kiki Rice scored 17 points, including 13 in the second half, and had a season-high four steals.
- Toronto set a WNBA record by making its first 31 free-throw attempts and finished 31 of 33 from the line, a display of late-game composure.
- Injuries continued to shape rotations as Seattle remained without guard Dominique Malonga in concussion protocol and Toronto was still missing Temi Fagbenle and Isabelle Harrison, though Julie Allemand returned.
- Seattle struggled offensively, making just eight free-throw attempts and going 7-for-27 from three, and the result builds on Toronto’s early momentum after the franchise’s first win over Seattle on May 13.
