Casey full of praise for Raptors growth

Wednesday, May 25 2016 by SNTV
  • Post-game reaction after the Toronto Raptors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-99 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday (23 May) at the Air Canada Centre in Ontario, Canada.

    Script: SOUNDBITE (English): Dwane Casey, Toronto Raptors Head Coach

    (On what win means for team)

    "Well, again, it's one game. I know that sounds simplistic, but it's one game in a seven-game series. We're in it. Someone mentioned that we were in it just to win one game, and I disagreed with them. We're in it to compete for a championship. We're here, and again, that's why we went through the season is to try to go as far as we could. We're a step ahead in the process, of our growth process. We're not there yet. Right now we've found something, but again, I still say that we're a young up-and-coming team that's got to stay hungry, got to stay humble, and continue to compete with poise."

    SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Forward

    (On team getting off to slow starts)

    "We got off to a horrible first half once again in this building and you're playing catchup the whole game. So every defensive possession feels even more intensified when you've given up so many points in the first half. I think they've averaged 58 or something like that in the first half here and in the high thirty's in the second half. So it get a little bit more intensified but it just goes back to the first half. We're not starting off games the right way. The second quarter has been really bad for us here. So we got to do a better job of, we can't dig ourselves such a big hole and now every possession feels even more intensified late in the game."
