Dwane Casey has said that the Toronto Raptors showed "mental toughness" in their win over the Brooklyn Nets last night.
The Canadian side finished the game strongly for a 96-80 win, ending the Nets' five-game winning streak.
The coach told reporters: "Our guys showed mental toughness and won a slug-out game, which I don't know if we could have won a few months ago.
"It's a testament to our guys' mental growth and mental toughness to win a game like that."
The Raptors host the Milwaukee Bucks tomorrow night.
