The Toronto Tempo’s struggles continued Thursday night as they fell to the Minnesota Lynx, extending their losing streak and dropping another important game in the playoff race. Toronto battled hard early, but Minnesota’s depth, defensive pressure, and efficient shooting proved too much over four quarters.
Minnesota controlled the pace with crisp ball movement and timely three-point shooting, while the Tempo were plagued by turnovers and inconsistent offense. Despite strong individual efforts from Toronto’s leading scorers, they were unable to put together the sustained run needed to erase the deficit.
