The Minnesota Timberwolves traveled across the border after a three-day break to take on the Toronto Raptors. While they had been on the right side of injury luck for the last week plus, it was quite the opposite tonight as Scottie Barnes returned from injury as Toronto looked to get back in the win column. On the Minnesota side, Mike Conley missed the game with a toe injury. The Wolves looked to keep their good vibes going, get their win streak up to three, and win in Toronto for the first time since 2004.

The Wolves started the game with Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaden McDaniels getting in the passing lanes and disrupting the Raptors’ offense as they combined for three steals in their first stint.
