The Raptors would defeat the Brooklyn Nets, 116-112, but this was not pretty and head coach Dwane Casey pulled no punches when he addressed the media post-game. The NBA is a grind, the marathon season taking a toll and the Raptors have played a lot over the past three weeks. Much like Tuesday’s game in Orlando, the Raptors likely lose Friday if the opponent was better, which isn’t to take away from how the Nets battled. Lowry needed only 11 shots from the field to pour in a game-high 25 points, one of three Raptors to reach the 20-point plateau. We went through it in Dallas, we went through it in Seattle, so it’s not anything that’s new to our team.
