Set The Tempo Postgame: Brittney Sykes Returns as Toronto Tempo Fall Just Short vs Fever

That one was right there.

In this episode of Set The Tempo, Tyler Conium reacts to the Toronto Tempo’s 101-95 loss to the Indiana Fever at Scotiabank Arena — a game that delivered plenty of moral victories, even if the losing streak continues.

The Tempo nearly pulled off the upset against one of the WNBA’s hottest teams, powered by Marina Mabrey’s 22 points, the long-awaited return of Brittney Sykes, and a massive home debut from Aneesah Morrow, who finished with 14 points and 16 rebounds.

Toronto still dug itself an early hole with another rough first quarter, but the fight, energy and late-game push were all major positives — especially with Julie Allemand, Maria Conde and Nyara Sabally out of the lineup.
