To say the Toronto Raptors merely blew out the Sixers, 102-78, would be to terribly understate what happened. In a sense, Carter did to the Sixers what Allen Iverson did to Toronto with his superb 54-point effort Wednesday night in Philadelphia. But what the Raptors did to the Sixers as they took a 2-1 lead in their NBA best-of-seven second-round playoff series was much, much worse.

The Raptors left the Sixers, whether they want to accept it or not, in disarray.
