Key Matchups and Game Preview: Tempo vs Storm
The Tempo have actually controlled the season series, winning both previous meetings by comfortable margins, 86-73 on May 13 and 93-72 on May 30. Toronto averages an impressive 87.3 points per game but allows a league-worst-looking 93.7, while Seattle scores 82.9 and gives up 88.4 per contest. The Tempo also hold a slight shooting advantage at 44% from the field compared with Seattle's 43%, although the Storm have been better on the glass at 33.7 rebounds per game compared with Toronto's 31.3.
The biggest issue for Toronto is personnel. Marina Mabrey, the team's leading scorer at 20.8 points per game, is out with a hip injury, removing the club's primary offensive weapon. Julie Allemand is also sidelined with a head injury after averaging a team-high 5.6 assists, and Maria Conde, who averages 4.7 rebounds, is out with a calf issue.
Dominique Malonga becomes even more important for Seattle after averaging 17.0 points and 8.9 rebounds, giving the Storm a significant interior advantage against Toronto's depleted rotation. Toronto's two earlier wins in the series deserve respect, but its current lineup is dramatically different without Mabrey and Allemand, and Seattle should have the healthier and more balanced rotation at home.
