SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Dwane Casey has won the NBA’s Coach of the Year award for his work with his former team, the Toronto Raptors.

Casey was fired last month and has since become coach of the Detroit Pistons.

The mentor led the Raptors to the No. 1 seed in the East for the first time in franchise history. Toronto won a team-record 59 games. Casey coached the East in the All-Star Game for the first time.

Casey won over Quin Snyder of Utah and Brad Stevens of Boston.
