Chicago SkyvsToronto Tempo
CHI 68/TOR 85
Things to say
Toronto Tempo beat the Chicago Sky 85-68 at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
01
opener
Tempo took care of business at home, 85-68 over the Sky. Wasn't really close down the stretch. Toronto just looked like the more locked-in team.
02
key player
Brittney Sykes was an absolute problem — 25 and 7, getting buckets at all three levels. She was cooking.
03
hot take
Chicago's gotta figure out the point guard spot, Skylar with 3 dimes ain't it. They've got no engine right now.
04
deep cut
Azura Stevens quietly went for 18 and 10 in a loss — she's the only one in that Sky frontcourt actually showing up.
05
exit
Anyway, Tempo's 6-5 now — feels like they're figuring it out in year one. Curious what they look like next week.
The recap
Tempo handled business at home, 85-68 over the Sky, and it really wasn't close down the stretch. Brittney Sykes was the engine — 25 and 7, getting buckets in the paint and at the line whenever Toronto needed a basket.
Chicago just couldn't buy a bucket; Azura Stevens did everything she could with an 18 and 10 double-double, but nobody else showed up to help her. Sky take the L and drop to 4-7 while Toronto climbs over .500.
