Spurs were outplayed by City and trailed to goals from Leroy Sane and Kevin De Bruyne.
But they pulled one back through Dele Alli and earned a point thanks to Son Heung-min's goal 13 minutes from time.
The result means Tottenham sit third in the Premier League table, nine points behind leaders Chelsea and three ahead of City.
Goalkeeper Lloris said: " At the end we got one point at City away when they probably played their best game of the season.
"It is a very good point. Of course we are able to do better with and without the ball but this was a game where we won the point with spirit and that is very positive.
"We talked to each other at the end of the game and this is a big change from the past. Maybe a few years ago we would have lost a bad defeat, especially at 2-0 down.
"The first one was a bit unlucky but the second one was my personal mistake. But in the last two or three seasons we have changed our mentality and we showed it. Even in a bad day it is a great point."
