Toronto trailed by 14 in the second quarter. But Sykes kept the Tempo alive, shooting a perfect 13-of-13 from the free-throw line. She then hit four free throws in the final 80 seconds of regulation to force overtime.
From there, Toronto took control.
Marina Mabrey added 21 points, while Laura Juskaite contributed 19. The Tempo (7-5) have now won four of its last five games.
