The purple and gold’s 36th ...

Marina Mabrey. | NBAE via Getty Images The Toronto Tempo might be the most appropriately named WNBA team. For an organization that experienced some questioning of their branding decisions, they’ve built a team that embodies their moniker. The Tempo like to play with tempo. However, intentionally or not, they might have leaned too far into that identity. Toronto’s tempo has come with some tempestuousness, and no, we’re not just referring to Marina Mabrey’s crashouts. WNBA analyst Dan Falkenhei...
