Toronto Tempo defeats New York Liberty in Montreal, attendance record broken
The Toronto Tempo snapped a four‑game losing streak by beating the New York Liberty 93‑91 at Montreal’s Bell Centre. Marina Mabrey led the Tempo with 30 points and Nyara Sabally scored the decisive layup with 52 seconds left. The win came after a dramatic incident in which Liberty guard Betnijah Laney‑Hamilton was ejected for throwing a shoe that struck Tempo guard Marina Mabrey.
The game was the second of a two‑day Montreal stop on the Tempo’s cross‑country tour. The Friday matchup against the Dallas Wings drew a WNBA regular‑season record crowd of 20,996 spectators, surpassing the previous high of 20,711 and underscoring growing Canadian interest in the league’s first franchise outside the United States.
