Game 5 was one of the most important games in Toronto Raptors history. In a critical series for both this season and the franchise’s future, they didn’t want to head back to Philadelphia down 2-3 in need of a road win. They needed to win Game 5. And They did.
It wasn’t your standard victory for the Toronto Raptors who dominated the Philadelphia 76ers from the first quarter on. It was the largest win in franchise history. It was a beatdown.
At the end of the first quarter, it seemed unbelievable that the Raptors were up by just one.
