TORONTO — September 18, 2026 — The Toronto Tempo battled the Indiana Fever in a high-scoring contest at Coca-Cola Coliseum, but Indiana pulled away in the second half for a 103–85 victory. 

Game Summary

Toronto started strongly and stayed within striking distance through the first half. The Tempo trailed 25–19 after one quarter, but erupted for 31 points in the second to take a 50–53 halftime deficit into the break. 

The Fever then regained control after halftime, using their offensive firepower to build separation and close out the game.

Indiana Standouts

Kelsey Mitchell delivered the biggest individual performance, scoring 33 points and setting a WNBA season scoring mark. 

Caitlin Clark added 28 points, matching her season high. 

Toronto Performance

Isabelle Harrison was among Toronto’s key contributors, while the Tempo’s offense showed considerable energy during its 31-point second quarter.

Toronto ultimately couldn’t maintain that production against Indiana’s second-half attack.

The loss leaves Toronto at 11–30, while Indiana improves to 27–14. Toronto had already been eliminated from playoff contention entering the game. 

Turning Point

The decisive stretch came after halftime. Toronto had matched Indiana’s intensity and offensive output for much of the opening 24 minutes, but the Fever’s combination of Mitchell’s scoring and Clark’s playmaking allowed Indiana to turn a competitive game into a comfortable victory.

What’s Next

Toronto returns to action Sunday, September 20, against the New York Liberty at Coca-Cola Coliseum, with tipoff scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET.
