Seattle Storm defeated Toronto Tempo 90-78 in the Women's NBA on 27 August 2026. The hosts improved to 8-32 after forty matches, while Toronto moved to 11-29 at sixth place. Both sides had been struggling of late, each with only a single win across their previous five outings.
Seattle controlled the paint with fifty points inside, compared to forty-four for the visitors. Their field goal tally of thirty-five made up most of the scoring, with six three-pointers added. Toronto relied more heavily on free throws, converting twenty-two of twenty-eight attempts, but could not match the overall volume.
Rebounding told a different story. Toronto grabbed forty-three boards to Seattle's thirty-seven, pulling down thirteen offensive rebounds against ten for the hosts. Yet that extra work on the glass produced only nine second-chance points for the visitors, while Seattle converted seventeen from the same source.
Turnovers proved decisive. Toronto gave the ball away seventeen times, twenty-five of Seattle's points coming from those mistakes. The Storm also recorded thirteen steals to Toronto's seven, disrupting passing lanes and limiting second opportunities.
The margin of sixteen points reflected Seattle's efficiency when they had the ball. They held a fourteen-point lead at their biggest moment, while Toronto's maximum advantage was just six. The result extended Toronto's winless run to five games and gave Seattle a rare bright spot in an otherwise difficult season.
