Raptors Uprising GC defeated 76ers GC, 2-0, in a three-game series between the clubs on Tuesday.

Toronto didn’t have any problem winning the first game of the series, cruising practically from start to finish. The first quarter of the opening game ended even at 15 points apiece and both players had standout performers early on, with Radiant leading the way for the 76ers and TimelyCook pacing Toronto. The Raptors pulled away in the second quarter, though, establishing a double-digit lead midway through the frame and leading by nine points, 37-28, at the break. Toronto stretched the lead the entire second half and ultimately blew out their opponents by a score of 79-56. KennyGotWork (29 points, five assists) and TimelyCook (26 points, three steals) each topped the 25-point threshold for Toronto, while SickOne posted an impressive 18-point, 15-rebound, 14-assist triple-double. Radiant (30 points, three assists) and Steez (10 points, 12 boards, three blocks) led the way for Philadelphia in the opener.

Toronto looked even better in the second game and only needed the first quarter to establish an advantage they would never relinquish. The Raptors jumped out to a 30-14 lead by the end of the first quarter, mostly thanks to 14 points from KennyGotWork. The 76ers, one of the best teams last season, didn’t find a way to turn things around and looked overmatched by the Canadian franchise. The Raptors’ lead increased to 20 points midway through the third quarter and pushed up to 25 points after three. Toronto eventually reached the 100-point plateau in this game, becoming the first team to do so in Week 1, and ended up winning by an expressive 103-67 margin. Raptors Gaming was so dominant that they won three of the four quarters by at least 10 points.

It was a complete performance from the Raptors Gaming squad in both contests, and 76ers GC didn’t have answers for them in either game. KennyGotWork had another impressive showing in Game 2 and exploded for 51 points, while SickOne delivered his second triple-double of the series with 12 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists. USERPICK led Philadelphia with 23 points and Radiant delivered 21 points, nine assists and four steals.
