Dwane Casey took the subway to today’s Game 7 versus the Nets. This wasn’t necessarily by choice, like many of the athletes who have taken public transit to games in the past — the Goodlife Marathon closed streets in Toronto this morning, and Casey had somewhere he had to be.
Bleacher Report’s Ethan Skolnick caught up with the Raptors coach:
Dwane Casey tried to drive to arena, but marathon traffic made him turn around. So he took subway. "Great planning," he joked.

Skolnick also added that Joey Crawford was trying to figure out the best route to the game; few would shed tears if the police sent him on a wild goose chase and he never made it.
