Toronto Tempo Ends Losing Streak with Victory in Vancouver

The Toronto Tempo achieved an 82-79 victory over the Portland Fire in Vancouver on Friday, marking their first trip to the city and ending a 12-game losing streak. The game took place at Rogers Arena, where the team received enthusiastic support from fans, many of whom wore Tempo merchandise.

Isabelle Harrison led the Tempo with 25 points and 10 rebounds, despite several key players being sidelined due to injuries. The Tempo initially fell behind by 13 points but rallied back, with contributions from Kiki Rice and Laura Juskaite, who collectively scored 59 points for the team.

This win comes after the Tempo was eliminated from playoff contention earlier in the week. The franchise is working to establish itself as a national team, with strong attendance figures in previous games across Canada. The Tempo will play their next game against the Las Vegas Aces in Vancouver on Sunday.
