Raptors' coach Casey finally beats Cavaliers' coach Lue for NBA honor
Some NBA fans were offended when commissioner Adam Silver said he had "no discussion" for Toronto's Dwane Casey to coach the All-Star Game, instead choosing Cleveland's Tyronn Lue.

While Casey will not get the privilege of coaching the All-Star Game in Toronto later this month, he did find out he won a different big honor from the NBA on Monday afternoon. Casey was named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month -- this was his third time earning the award, also taking home the hardware in December '13 and November '14.
Toronto was 12-2 (.857) in January, highlighted by a 11-game win streak. Clippers' coach Doc Rivers was named Western Conference Coach of the Month.
