Toronto Tempo vs Phoenix Mercury Final Score & Over/Under Result — May 19, 2026

Brittney Sykes carried Toronto past Phoenix with a 31-point, 7-rebound, 6-assist performance, lifting the Tempo to a 98–90 victory and pushing the combined scoring well clear of expectations. The market had pegged this matchup at 169.5, but the two teams combined for 188 points—an 18.5-point overage that defied DAGGER's pregame lean toward the under.

The first half shaped up as a cautious affair, with the teams combining for just 89 points through two quarters. Phoenix opened with 23 in Q1 while Toronto matched that output; the second quarter tightened further to a combined 43 points. That sluggish pace invited caution from oddsmakers, but the third quarter erupted. Q3 delivered 58 combined points—the game's highest-scoring frame—as Sykes and Marina Mabrey (30 pts, 5 reb, 3 ast) led Toronto's offensive surge. The Tempo outscored Phoenix 28–30 in that frame, seizing momentum. Phoenix's Kahleah Copper (18 pts, 4 ast) and Alyssa Thomas (17 pts, 8 ast, 6 reb) kept the Mercury within striking distance, but a fourth-quarter slowdown to 41 combined points sealed it. Toronto pulled away down the stretch despite the final quarter cooling, anchored by Sykes's two-way dominance and secondary scoring from Kiki Rice (15 pts, 7 reb).
