WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Toronto Tempo Have Lost 7 Straight (WNBA)
Published
Streaks are the league's pulse. You can read the whole mood of WNBA off who keeps stacking wins and who cannot find the exit, and this morning's board, counted straight from the results table, has some runs worth talking about.
There are six clubs carrying streaks of three games or longer at the moment, which tells you something about how streaky this stretch of the calendar has been.
The teams stacking wins
Las Vegas Aces just keep stacking, six wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.
Behind them, Atlanta Dream have quietly won 4 in a row.
And Washington Mystics make it a crowd with 3 consecutive wins.
Going the wrong way
On the other side of the ledger, Toronto Tempo have dropped seven straight. Losing streaks carry their own gravity, the pressing starts, the bounces stop cooperating, and close games keep finding the same ending.
Connecticut Sun are on a slide of their own at 6 straight losses.
Seattle Storm round out the skid list at 4 in a row.
At a glance
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Toronto Tempo | lost 7 straight |
| Las Vegas Aces | won 6 straight |
| Connecticut Sun | lost 6 straight |
| Seattle Storm | lost 4 straight |
| Atlanta Dream | won 4 straight |
One more thing
At 7 games, the board's longest streak is officially a main character; nothing else in the league gets talked about the same way while it lives.
Streaks end, that is the one thing every single one of them does. They tell you where a team has been, loudly, and nothing at all about where the next game is going.
Next up on the slate: Toronto Tempo against Connecticut Sun. Check back after that one goes final.
