Joe Johnson: 'My teammates did a great job in victory over Toronto Raptors'

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Joe Johnson hails the support shown by his teammates on the court during their victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Joe Johnson has hailed the support shown by his teammates on the court as they knocked the Toronto Raptors out of the playoffs on Sunday.

Johnson was the top scorer with 26 points in game seven but was quick to thank his teammates for putting him in the position to score in the 104-103 victory.

"I was just trying to be aggressive. Early on, I took my turn, picked my spots," Johnson told reporters after the game.

"I thought my teammates did a great job making plays when I was throwing the ball out of the double teams and, down the stretch, I knew they weren't going to double as much but they gave me a few different looks with Patterson guarding me, a little bigger of a guy, I just wanted to use my quickness to try and get around him."

The Nets will now face the Miami Heat in the next round, which gets underway with game one on Tuesday.
