The expansion Tempo defeated the visiting Storm 86-73 on May 13 for the first victory in franchise history.
Toronto (4-4) is coming off Wednesday’s 111-104 road win over the Chicago Sky that snapped a two-game skid.
Seattle (3-5) had a two-game winning streak halted Wednesday with a 78-64 loss to the Washington Mystics.
In their win at Chicago, the Tempo had a career-best 29 points from Nyara Sabally, who also had six rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots.
“This is really not surprising to me,” said teammate Marina Mabrey, who had 24 points and seven assists. “(Sabally) is a really good player and can read the game really well and is super smart.”
“She is an important player for us,” coach Sandy Brondello said about Sabally.
Brittney Sykes added 20 points for the Tempo, who shot 56.1% (37 of 66), including 46.2% (12 of 26) from 3-point range.
The Storm trailed 48-29 by halftime against the Mystics and could not recover despite a 19-12 fourth-quarter edge.
Jade Melbourne led Seattle scorers with 15 points.
The Storm shot only 34.9% (22 of 63) from the field and 21.7% (5 of 23) from beyond the arc.
“We won’t turn the page,” Storm coach Sonia Raman said. “We’re never going to turn the page on any game. We want to make sure that, win or lose, we learn and we grow. We’ll go back. We’ll watch film. We’ll process it and then make the adjustments we need to make because some of the things that happened today are things that we want to be better at going forward, no matter who we play.”
In the first meeting against the Storm, the Tempo were led by Mabrey’s 26 points on 6-for-11 shooting from 3-point distance. She also had four rebounds, three assists and four steals.
“(Mabrey) makes all these 3s, but it’s how she creates for her teammates, too,” Brondello said.
Sykes added 18 points and eight rebounds against Seattle.
Dominique Malonga scored 21 points to lead the Storm in their first visit to Toronto. She did not play because of concussion protocol on Wednesday.

Twins place LHP Kendry Rojas (elbow) on 15-day IL
May 18, 2026; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kendry Rojas (60) delivers a pitch against the Houston Astros in the first inning at Target Field. Mandatory Credit: Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images The Minnesota Twins placed left-hander Kendry Rojas on the 15-day injured list on Friday, one day after he was scratched from his scheduled start due to inflammation in his pitching elbow.
The move is retroactive to Tuesday.
Rojas, 23, is 1-0 with a 1.26 ERA in five games (one start) since making his major league debut on April 22.
Also on Friday, the Twins returned right-hander Cody Laweryson from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 15-day injured list and recalled left-hander Kody Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul.
Minnesota also optioned right-hander Travis Adams to St. Paul after Thursday’s 6-2 loss to the host Chicago White Sox.
Laweryson, 28, has a 4.26 ERA and one save without a decision in five relief appearances with the Twins. He has missed the team’s last 45 games due to a right forearm strain.
Funderburk, 29, went 1-1 with one save and a 2.81 ERA in 19 games (no starts) for the Twins prior to being optioned to the Saints on May 10.
Adams, 26, is 1-0 with one save and a 7.20 ERA in seven relief appearances this season with Minnesota.

Caddie fired after PGA starting-time gaffe finds new job

Austin Gaugert gained notoriety when Garrick Higgo was a minute late to start his first round at Aronimink Golf Club near Philadelphia two weeks ago.
Higgo was penalized two strokes and wound up missing the 36-hole cut at the major by just one shot. He fired Gaugert the following Monday and brought back former caddie Nick Cavendish-Pell.
Gaugert shouldered the responsibility for the controversial penalty following his dismissal.
“As a caddie, you try to do everything you can to prepare your player for competition and I fell short of that,” he wrote on Instagram. “Garrick was understanding throughout the situation and handled it with professionalism and class. This has happened to players before and will again. Garrick handled a difficult situation with grace, and I wish him nothing but success moving forward.”
Gaugert has moved forward. He is caddying this week for Dylan Wu at the PGA Tour’s Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas.
Wu, who missed the cut in his five previous events, opened with an even-par 70 at Colonial Country Club on Thursday.
