Mercury End Losing Streak
Phoenix Mercury Defeat Toronto Tempo 101-69 to End Four-Game Losing Streak
Anonymous
The Phoenix Mercury bounced back decisively with a 101-69 rout of the Toronto Tempo, CBS Sports reported, snapping a brutal four-game losing streak. Noemie Brochart and Shay Ciezki each scored 15 points to lead six Mercury players into double figures in the lopsided victory.
The 32-point win was Phoenix's second-largest margin this season, trailing only a 99-66 blowout of Las Vegas to open the year Winnipeg Free Press noted. The dominant performance came as Toronto continued without its leading scorer, Marina Mabrey, sidelined by an adductor injury for six straight games.
Balanced Scoring Powers Mercury Past Tempo
Phoenix got contributions across the lineup in the blowout victory. Samami Whitcomb added 14 points, while Marta Suarez scored 13. Maddy Westbeld chipped in 12 points and Lexi Held scored 11 Yahoo Sports reported, showing the Mercury's depth proved too much for Toronto to handle.
Toronto Still Missing Star Scorer Mabrey
The Tempo's struggles were amplified by the absence of Marina Mabrey, their leading scorer. The injury to Mabrey's adductor has kept her sidelined for six consecutive games, leaving Toronto without one of its top offensive weapons. This forced the team to rely on other players who couldn't match Phoenix's offensive firepower.
Phoenix's Dominant Season Start Takes Shape
The Mercury's convincing win demonstrates their potential after stumbling through four straight losses. With six players scoring in double digits, Phoenix showed it can overwhelm opponents when balanced scoring clicks. The team now looks to build momentum following the lopsided victory over a depleted Tempo squad.
