Toronto stayed competitive on the glass, outrebounding Connecticut 40-36, but struggled to match the Sun’s efficiency. The Tempo shot 44.0% from the field and went 5-for-29 from three-point range, limiting their ability to close the gap despite creating extra possessions through rebounding.
Going forward, Connecticut can build on its offensive balance and shot-making, particularly the way it converted high-percentage looks. Toronto will need to improve perimeter shooting and playmaking consistency after finishing with 13 assists, especially in games where rebounding alone is not enough to offset shooting struggles.
