When the Wolves played the Raptors at home a week and a half ago, the team was without Jimmy Butler. An expected loss against the two-seed from the East turned into a surprising win, as Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony teamed up to lead the team in a gritty effort.
Even with Butler back for the rematch tonight in Toronto, it was set up to be another tough game as the team was on a road back-to-back. After losing in Atlanta last night, an affair lacking effort from the heavily favored visitors, the Wolves brought energy early to Air Canada Centre.
