Julie Allemand, Toronto Tempo Fall 26-24 to Atlanta Dream

Julie Allemand and the Toronto Tempo lost to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, a result that left Toronto at 7-7 and ninth in the WNBA standings. The game also counted toward the Commissioner's Cup, adding weight to a matchup that carried points for both the regular table and the in-season competition.

Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard

Allisha Gray led Atlanta with 26 points, and Rhyne Howard added 24. Those two scores did most of the damage against Toronto, which could not keep pace as the Dream moved to 9-4 and fourth place out of 15 teams.

Toronto Tempo at 7-7

Toronto entered the game as a new WNBA team in 2026, and the loss leaves the expansion side sitting exactly at.500. That places the Tempo in the middle of a crowded race, with every result carrying double value when the same game also counts in the Commissioner's Cup regular phase from June 1 to June 17.

Commissioner's Cup pressure

The Cup format gives Sunday’s result extra relevance because it did not stand alone. Toronto now has to manage both its place in the league table and its position in the internal competition after a night when Atlanta’s top scoring pair settled the game before the Tempo could pull level.
