Yesterday, the Washington Wizards completed a surprising 4-0 series sweep of the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Playoffs. The raptors seemingly rolled over and bowed out in Game 4, accepting defeat by a score of 125-94. Two of the team ambassadors, Wale for the Wizards and Drake famously for the Raptors have been trading jabs all season on social media and last night Wale was able to get revenge in the sweetest way possible after his team got out the brooms and sent home their opponent packing.
Wale originally taunted Drake with a picture of him on the jumbotron courtside with the score well out of hand as the game neared completion.

This was in reference to a similar photo sent by Drake to Wale six months prior with a differing scoreline of the Raptors winning. Too bad that was the regular season.

Wale sealed the deal with a broom and title belt, maybe a little prematurely for that, but they won the round, in coming after the Toronto rapper.

NBA veteran, Paul Pierce made himself a vocal centerpiece of the series with a constant stream of trash talk that did affect the Raptor's young team. He took the opportunity to call out the Raptors and their celebrity mascot Drake as well on social media after the sweep.
