It might be our fault! Last week we described how the Tempo had the most efficient defense in the WNBA despite some problems guarding the rim. After a long road trip they are now ranked 12th in the WNBA in defensive efficiency. An improved offense and some outstanding individual performances helped the Tempo get two big wins against Los Angeles and Phoenix. This week we focus on ball screen defense and set the table for two important games coming up this week away at Chicago and at home against Seattle.Reach out to us by email [email protected] or on our Instagram pageInstagram: talkingtempo

With the Toronto Tempo leading the league in defensive efficiency we thought it was a good time to look at the good and bad so far for the Tempo on the defensive end. In this episode we do a simple statistical analysis of the Tempo defensive and look at how they are creating turnovers at a higher rate than any other team in the WNBA but need to do a better job of protecting the rim if they want a chance to make the playoffs in their inaugural season!Reach out to us by email [email protected] or on our Instagram pageInstagram: talkingtempo
