The Timberwolves were missing their best player and their top minutes-getter off the bench, but still found a way to beat one of the top-four teams in the entire NBA on Saturday night at Target Center. And while the Raptors were on the second night of a back-to-back, a Jimmy Butler-less win — over this team in particular — is impressive nonetheless.
Butler sat out due to a sore knee, which meant that Nemanja Bjelica stepped into the starting lineup at the small forward spot. It also meant that Andrew Wiggins was suddenly the focal point of the Wolves offense.
