""It was not [a] beautiful game, but the crowd obviously didn't care. They cheered us loud. I will not remember this game because of basketball. I will remember this game because of the crowd and how they loved us tonight.""
""Fittingly, it was Nurse who landed the first Tempo basket, swishing a three-pointer and sending the crowd into a frenzy, perhaps even forcing an ensuing Sun turnover.""
The Toronto Tempo played their first game at Coca-Cola Coliseum, losing 83-78 to the Connecticut Sun. Fans eagerly awaited the event, creating an electric atmosphere. Aaliyah Edwards and Brittney Griner participated in the national anthem, while Kia Nurse received a warm welcome from the crowd. The game featured ups and downs, with the Tempo initially leading before the Sun made a comeback. Despite the loss, the crowd's support was a highlight, as noted by player Laura Juskaite, emphasizing the memorable experience over the game's outcome.
