Toronto Tempo (W) Team Overview
The Canadian side are on a losing streak, having picked up just one win in their last ten outings. Their return from the international break also ended in disappointment, as they fell to Indiana 85-103. On average, they concede around 93 points per game while scoring just 86. It’s hard to imagine a scenario where their defense suddenly transforms. However, playing at home presents an opportunity to at least make a statement offensively.
