The Toronto Raptors are moving on to the second round. It’s a result everyone expected from the onset, but considering the franchise’s history, it’s nice to see it become official.
It’s also the first time in franchise history the team has clinched a seven-game series in five games or fewer. Toronto has never been this dominant in a playoff series, just another sign that this is the best team in the franchise’s 24 seasons.
This game was over by the end of the first quarter. Nine minutes in, the Raptors were up 28-7. Orlando couldn’t score, Toronto couldn’t miss, and you just had a feeling this was going to get out of hand quickly.
