- Marina Mabrey scored 21 of her career-high 37 points in the fourth quarter and went 9-of-12 from 3-point range, also adding four rebounds and four assists as Toronto rallied from a 16-point deficit.
- The Toronto Tempo hit 19 three-pointers as a team, tied for the second-most in a regular-season WNBA game, trailing only the Las Vegas Aces' 22 against the Sparks in September.
- Connecticut led 50-37 at halftime, but Toronto outscored the Sun 64-47 in the second half to pull away, snapping a three-game skid and improving to 8-8.
- Chelsea Gray of the Las Vegas Aces also tied the league's single-game 3-point record on June 12 against the Portland Fire, per ESPN Research.
- Temi Fagbenle shot 8-for-9 from the floor for 19 points and nine rebounds, while Maria Conde added 19 points and six rebounds off the bench for Toronto.
- The Connecticut Sun fell to 2-15 and lost their seventh straight, getting 18 points from reserve Kennedy Burke and 16 each from Leila Lacan and Brittney Griner.
Why it matters: Mabrey's nine triples are now tied for the all-time WNBA single-game mark just two weeks after Chelsea Gray matched it, underscoring how rapidly the league's 3-point ceiling is being reset in its expansion era. For the 2-15 Sun, a seventh consecutive loss deepens an already historically rough start under a new-look roster.
