Teammate Caitlin Clark contributed significantly with 28 points and matched her season high of 14 assists, marking her return to the league after competing in the women's FIBA World Cup in Germany. Clark was successful at the free-throw line, hitting 12 out of 12 attempts, but had a challenging night from three-point range, making only 2 of 8 attempts.
The Fever has now won 8 out of their last 10 games, while the Tempo, despite efforts from Laura Juskaite who scored 22 points, and Kiki Rice with 18, suffered their fifth consecutive loss. Toronto has struggled following a strong start to the season, now standing at 2-21 since a .500 record of 9-9.
Toronto was missing veteran guard Marina Mabrey due to a right adductor injury, which will keep her out for the remainder of the season. The Fever will next play at home against the Washington Mystics, while the Tempo will face the New York Liberty.
Following this win, the Fever secured a playoff spot and is now tied with the Atlanta Dream for first place in the Eastern Conference. The Associated Press contributed to this report, and Chantz Martin serves as a sports writer for Fox News Digital.
