On Saturday evening, Hawks Talon GC, the official NBA 2K League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks, was victorious in two games over Heat Check Gaming, the official NBA 2K League affiliate of the Miami Heat, by scores of 89-69 and 88-79. As a result, Hawks Talon, who will enter Week 3 on a five-game winning streak, sits at a 5-3 record for the 2021 NBA 2K League regular season.

“It was important for us to continue our momentum in both of our games against Heat Check Gaming tonight,” said Hawks Talon Head Coach Wesley Acuff. “These games felt much closer than the final scores reflected. As a team, we continued to push and create opportunities for each other, and I was excited to see our team continue to make extra passes and find the open man. This led to our success tonight, and frankly, all weekend long. We look forward to reviewing the film from this weekend’s games and finding things we can improve upon as we enter Week 3.”

In the first game, Hawks Talon recorded a season-high 89 points in the team’s victory over Heat Check Gaming. Leading the way was 2021 first-round pick Caesar A. Martinez (CEEZ) who totaled a game-high 33 points and 10 assists. Michael Diaz-Cruz (BP), who switched to play the role of secondary ballhandler for the first team this season, contributed with a season-high 24 points and five assists. Lee Lamb (LEE) contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Michael Swanegan (SWANN) added 11 points and two rebounds. The team’s 2021 second-round draft pick, Thomas Batts (FAKIEE), added nine points, three rebounds and a career-high four assists.

In the second game, Hawks Talon’s 2021 first-round draft pick CEEZ set a single-game franchise-record scoring 50 points, which was highlighted by a career-best nine three-point field goals. He also added a team-high 11 assists, resulting in his fifth double-double performance of the regular season. LEE, who earned recognition on the 2020 NBA 2K League All-Rookie Team, totaled 18 points, a game-high 15 rebounds and seven assists. This marked LEE’s sixth double-double performance of the season. Rounding out the group was BP who totaled 11 points, FAKIEE who added six points and three rebounds, and SWANN who contributed with three points, two rebounds, two assists and a team-high two steals.

Hawks Talon Gaming (5-3) will continue the regular season against Celtics Crossover Gaming (1-3), the official NBA 2K League affiliate of the Boston Celtics, on Saturday, June 12 at 7 p.m. for Week 3 of the NBA 2K League regular season.

Bronze card has been claimed during the group stage; silver and gold prizes remain available until 31 July.

Tonybet said it has paid out its first major prize in its World Cup Card Collection campaign for Canadian customers (excluding Ontario), after a player secured the promotion’s bronze card worth $15,000 CAD.

The operator said the World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards to collect during the tournament: 48 digital cards tied to participating World Cup nations, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—linked to a $150,000 CAD total prize fund.

According to Tonybet, the bronze card has been available through the World Cup’s group stage and has now been claimed. The silver card is available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals, while the gold card is held back for the closing semi-finals and final.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “With Canada co-hosting the World Cup for the first time, the tournament has felt closer to home than ever before for Canadians, and it has already delivered a moment most supporters could only dream about with the national team advancing to the knockout stages.

“For one lucky Canada supporter, it has now produced another story that will be worth retelling long after the final whistle has gone – with our lucky winner among the first Tonybet customers to win one of the unique cards in our World Cup Card Collection, taking home a cool $15,000 for managing to get his hands on bronze. Who will end up with silver and gold?”

Tonybet said the same three unique cards are also in circulation across its other markets, with varying outcomes so far. The World Cup Card Collection campaign runs until 31 July, with a $150,000 CAD prize pool for Canada and separate prize pools in other markets.
