Toronto TempovsConnecticut Sun
TOR 101/CON 97
Things to say
Toronto Tempo beat the Connecticut Sun 101-97 in Uncasville.
01
opener
Tempo went into Mohegan Sun and stole one, 101-97. Sun hung around all night but couldn't get the stop when it mattered. Toronto's now .500, Connecticut's just buried.
02
key player
Marina Mabrey was unconscious — 37 points. She was just getting buckets at will.
03
hot take
Connecticut is 2-15 and it's not a fluke. That roster is cooked.
04
deep cut
Julie Allemand quietly ran the show with 9 dimes — Mabrey doesn't drop 37 without her setting the table.
05
exit
Anyway, Tempo's trending up — curious what they look like next time out.
The recap
Toronto stole one on the road, 101-97, and it was the Marina Mabrey show from tip to final horn. She dropped 37 and was filling it up from everywhere — straight buckets when the Tempo needed them most.
Connecticut hung tough behind Kennedy Burke's 18 and a Morrow double-double, but every time they made a push Mabrey had an answer, including some daggers down the stretch. Sun drop to 2-15 and just couldn't get a stop when it mattered.
