Kiki Rice Shines in Rookie Battle | Toronto Raptors News

Kiki Rice lit up the court with a career-high 24 points, showcasing her scoring prowess and playmaking with five assists and just one turnover—her aggressive drives, pull-up jumpers, and an eight-point explosion in under a minute left fans buzzing. While Flau’jae Johnson led Seattle with 20 points, Rice proved more efficient, outshining her rookie counterpart. Despite the loss, Rice’s breakout performance highlights her rising potential as the Tempo’s frontcourt, led by Isabelle Harrison’s career-high 14 rebounds and 17 points, kept things competitive. But turnovers (14 by the fourth quarter) and poor shooting (1-for-12 from three in Q1) plagued the team, compounded by injuries and international commitments. With back-to-back road games against Las Vegas and Phoenix looming, the Tempo must tighten their defense and find consistent offense to stay in the race.
