PHOENIX (AP) --- Brittney Sykes had 31 points, Marina Mabrey added 30 points
and six 3-pointers, and the Toronto Tempo beat the Phoenix Mercury 98-90 on
Tuesday night.
Toronto created some separation by starting the fourth quarter on a 12-4 run to
take an 85-78 lead. Then Maria Conde and Kiki Rice each made a shot in the
lane, sandwiched around a Phoenix turnover, to give the Tempo a 93-86 lead with
2:32 left.
Mabrey sank her sixth 3-pointer with 1:25 left from the corner to make it 96-90.
Toronto finished with a season-high 15 makes from behind the arc, while Phoenix
went 4 of 22.
Kahleah Copper scored 18 points and Alyssa Thomas had 17 points for Phoenix
(2-3). DeWanna Bonner scored 13 on 4-of-11 shooting and Jovana Nogic also
scored 13. Natasha Mack had 12 points and 10 rebounds before leaving late in
the third quarter after a hard fall.
Rice had 15 points and Laura Juskaite added 10 for Toronto (3-2). Sykes, who
was coming off a career-high 38 points in a 106-96 victory over Los Angeles on
Sunday, went 10 of 19 from the field with four 3-pointers.
Mabrey made her third 3-pointer of the first half with 20.8 seconds left to
give Toronto a 45-44 lead. Mabrey finished the half with 15 points and Sykes
added 14, while the rest of their teammates went 5 of 16 from the field.
