In the midst of a 10-game losing streak, the Toronto Tempo are finding solace in small victories. Forward Laura Juskaite highlighted the team’s recent defensive improvement, despite missing key players like Julie Allemand and Maria Conde. The Tempo’s debut WNBA season has derailed, losing 14 of their last 15 games, diminishing their playoff aspirations.
Up next, the struggling Tempo will face the high-scoring Indiana Fever, aiming to address their defensive shortcomings. With seven games left before the FIBA World Cup break, Toronto has a brief respite to regroup and strategize.
The team has added forward Aneesah Morrow to bolster their frontcourt and support star players like Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes. While playoff hopes fade, the focus shifts to player development and building for the future.
Despite the challenging season, rookie Kiki Rice remains optimistic about the team’s long-term prospects. The Tempo, plagued by injuries and lineup changes, are striving to establish consistency and a winning culture.
As they navigate a tough schedule ahead, including a prolonged stretch away from home, the Tempo remain determined to turn the tide and secure victories. The players are unwavering in their commitment to striving for success on the court.
