WNBA Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Toronto Tempo Have Lost 8 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.
Count them up and five teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
Riding high
Las Vegas Aces just keep stacking, seven 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.
Atlanta Dream carry a 5-game winning run of their own.
Add Washington Mystics to the list too, 4 in a row.
The skids
Toronto Tempo cannot find the exit: eight consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
Seattle Storm have dropped 5 in a row themselves.
By the numbers
The full board, longest runs first:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Toronto Tempo | lost 8 straight |
| Las Vegas Aces | won 7 straight |
| Seattle Storm | lost 5 straight |
| Atlanta Dream | won 5 straight |
| Washington Mystics | won 4 straight |
One more thing
At 8 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.
None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
