Summary
Another tough one against Atlanta. In this episode of Set The Tempo , Tyler Conium reacts to Toronto’s 94-87 loss to the Atlanta Dream , a game that started ugly, got briefly interesting, but ultimately showed the gap between the shorthanded Tempo and one of the WNBA’s strongest teams. Toronto fell behind 33-15 after the first quarter , battled back in stretches, but never fully recovered from the early hole. The positives? Izzy Harrison had her best all-around game as a Tempo player , Niara Sabally returned to the lineup, and Temi Fagbenle gave Toronto some real minutes before fouling out. The problem?The depth still is not there — especially with Brittney Sykes and Kiki Rice out. 🚨 In this episode: 😬 Tempo Fall Back Under .500 * Toronto loses 94-87 to Atlanta * Tempo drop to 8-9 * Dream improve to 12-4 * Atlanta wins wire-to-wire 📉 First Quarter Disaster * Atlanta jumps out to a 7-0 lead * Toronto falls behind 31-8 💪 Izzy Harrison Delivers * 21 points 🔥 Marina Mabrey Keeps Carrying the Offense * 23 points 🏀 Niara Sabally Returns * Back in the starting lineup * 9 points and 5 rebounds 👀 Temi Fagbenle Shows Signs * 10 points in 14 minutes * Best game of her season so far 📊 Kia Nurse Shows a Pulse * 15 minutes * 4 points, 4 assists 🧱 Depth Questions Remain * Bench production still thin * Toronto missing two major starters in Sykes and Rice ⏳ Next Up: Los Angeles Sparks * Tempo have split the season series with LA * Kelsey Plum is priority No. 1 📅 Next Game: Toronto Tempo vs Los Angeles Sparks🎧 New episodes after EVERY Tempo game 📲 Follow @TylerConium🇨🇦 The Tempo are 8-9 and searching for answers Let’s Set The Tempo.
