Things to say
Toronto Tempo beat the Connecticut Sun 106-102 in overtime at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
01
opener
Tempo took it in OT, 106-102. Sun pushed them way harder than the record says. Coca-Cola Coliseum was rocking.
02
key player
Brittney Sykes was a problem — 38 and just would not miss down the stretch. Ice in her veins.
03
hot take
Connecticut at 2-12 has no business hanging with anybody on the road, and they almost stole this one.
04
deep cut
Nelson-Ododa quietly grabbed 13 boards and was living in the paint all night. Nobody's talking about it.
05
exit
Anyway — Tempo's got a real test next week, we'll see if Sykes keeps cooking.
The recap
Toronto squeaked past Connecticut 106-102 in OT, and it was the Brittney Sykes show from start to finish. She dropped 38 and just kept getting buckets when Toronto needed them, ice in her veins down the stretch.
Aaliyah Edwards put up 24 trying to keep the Sun afloat, but Connecticut couldn't get the dagger to fall in regulation and Toronto ate them up in the extra frame. Sun drop to 2-12, which tells you everything.
