In the midst of a 10-game losing streak, the Toronto Tempo are finding comfort in small victories. Forward Laura Juskaite noted the team’s improvement in keeping an opponent under 100 points after a recent 94-88 loss to the Dallas Wings. Despite roster changes and uncontrollable circumstances, the Tempo are focused on giving their best effort.
Struggling with a record of 10-23, the Tempo’s playoff dreams seem distant as they prepare to face the high-scoring Indiana Fever. With the team’s defense under scrutiny, they have a six-day break to regroup before the upcoming game.
The addition of forward Aneesah Morrow has strengthened the team’s frontcourt, complementing star players Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes. While playoff hopes dwindle, the Tempo are looking to build for the future and integrate new players into their system.
As the team’s first-round pick, rookie Kiki Rice recognizes the long-term commitment needed to develop a competitive team. Despite the challenging season, the Tempo are focused on continuous improvement and maintaining a winning mindset.
Injuries and lineup changes have plagued the Tempo this season, leading to inconsistent performances. Rice emphasized the importance of maintaining a high level of competitiveness and building a winning culture within the team.
Facing a tough schedule ahead, including a stretch of away games, the Tempo remain optimistic about their ability to turn the season around. Despite setbacks, the team is determined to work hard and strive for victories in the remaining games.
