TORONTO–The Philadelphia 76ers finally put the Toronto Raptors behind them with a 132-97 Game 6 win to officially eliminate those pesky Raptors and now move on to Round 2. The Sixers once held a 3-0 lead in this series, but Toronto won two in a row to make it a series before Philadelphia got it done.
The Raptors were a feisty group. Even while losing Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes for a couple of games and then losing All-Star Fred VanVleet as well, they were able to hang with it and push the Sixers a bit despite the tall task.
Now, Philadelphia will move on to the Miami Heat, but the Raptors gave them a challenge they will not forget.
