In the midst of a 10-game losing skid, the Toronto Tempo are focusing on the positives. Forward Laura Juskaite highlighted the team’s defensive improvement after holding an opponent under 100 points for the first time in a while. Despite facing lineup challenges and injuries, the team is staying resilient.
The Tempo’s expansion season has hit a rough patch, dropping 14 of their last 15 games to stand at a 10-23 record, dimming their playoff chances. Their next challenge will be facing the high-scoring Indiana Fever led by Caitlin Clark. The team has a six-day break to regroup before the upcoming game.
While the postseason seems out of reach, Toronto is looking to integrate new players like Aneesah Morrow to strengthen their frontcourt alongside key players Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes. The team is also eyeing a strong draft pick to bolster their roster in the future.
Despite the tough stretch, players like Kiki Rice remain focused on building a winning culture and improving each day. The team’s commitment is unwavering as they navigate a challenging schedule ahead. Juskaite emphasized the team’s determination to turn things around and secure victories despite the obstacles they face.
