Tempo vs Wings Prediction
The Wings just beat the Tempo five days ago, scoring 89 points on 44 percent shooting and making 10 threes. These young Wings are growing before our eyes, and they’re putting themselves in the senaky contender box as long as the defense continues to make strides. The Tempo is dropping players left and right, as it looks like they’ll be down four rotation players. As great as Mabrey is, there’s only so much heavy lifting she can do. Defenses are blitzing her and forcing others to step up, and it hasn’t worked up to this point. The Tempo doesn’t have the bodies to counter the Wings’ scoring. I’ll ly the points with Dallas on the road.
