Fever Chase Playoff Dream vs. Eliminated Tempo
18 Sep
Summary
- Indiana Fever aim to sweep Toronto Tempo for playoff race.
- Fever are fifth in standings, half a game behind Atlanta Dream.
- Tempo eliminated from playoffs, on a four-game losing streak.
The WNBA resumes play with the Indiana Fever facing the Toronto Tempo on September 18th in Canada. This marks the final matchup between these two teams this season. The Fever, currently fifth in the WNBA standings, are in a tight playoff race, sitting half a game behind the Atlanta Dream.
Indiana has been performing strongly, winning seven of their last ten games and entering this contest on a two-game winning streak. A victory tonight would keep them in fifth place, as Atlanta holds the tie-breaker. However, with several teams close behind, every game is critical for playoff positioning.
In contrast, the Toronto Tempo, in their inaugural WNBA season, have been eliminated from playoff contention. They are currently on a four-game losing streak and have secured only one win in their last ten games. Their focus shifts to building team chemistry for the future.
The Fever have won both previous encounters against the Tempo this season. Their initial victory was a decisive 113-91 win on June 16th, followed by a closer 101-95 win on August 18th. Key players like Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark have been instrumental in these victories.
