Toronto Sixers made it two wins from two with a comfortable 110-94 victory over Montreal Royal Tigers in the Canadian Super 60 on Tuesday night. The visitors took control early and saw the game out without any real threat of a comeback. It was a straightforward night for the away side, who now sit above their hosts in the table.
The result moves Toronto into third place with two points from two games, while Montreal remain bottom of the standings without a win. Five games into the season, the gap between the two sides has become clear. Toronto are running out of games without losing, but Montreal are running out of games without winning.
Montreal have lost both opening fixtures, their recent record showing a narrow 70-69 defeat to Brampton Blitz followed by a heavy 100-76 loss to Vancouver Kings. They have not found a way to keep their side in it and will need to turn that around quickly. Toronto meanwhile have one win and one loss from their opening two matches, having dropped points in close contests against Mississauga and Vancouver.
With the season still young, tonight's result could make life awkward for Montreal going forward. Toronto will look to build on their start, while the hosts have some catching up to do if they want to climb away from the bottom of the table.
