"That's the way we got to play. We can't come and play like we did in the first few quarters," Casey said. "Here's a team that kicked our butts for the last eleven games and I was disappointed in the way we started the game and ecstatic about how we finished the game," he continued.
Despite pushing the game to an extra frame, Raptors had yet to take a lead in the game. At the 1:23 mark of overtime, Raptors took their first lead with a DeMar DeRozan jump shot and maintained it for a two-point victory.
DeRozan played a team-high 44 minutes and was one short from a career-high with 42 points on a franchise-best 38 field goal attempts. The three-time All-Star also dished out 8 assists and grabbed 7 rebounds. The eight-year veteran has been around during all eleven losses against Chicago and is relieved to end the streak that had lasted more than three years.
"To have a losing streak like that sucks and you don't want to have something leaning on you like that," he told reporters following the game. "To go a couple of seasons and not beat a team when you are a competitor, you have that in the back of your mind sucks," he continued.
With 11 games remaining on the season, Raptors currently sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and are half a game back of Wizards for third place, two games back of Celtics for second place, and five games away from top-seeded Cavaliers.
