TORONTO - Until Tuesday night, the Timberwolves hadn’t won a game in Toronto since their young star Andrew Wiggins was eight years old there.
Well, they still haven’t, not after a 109-104 loss to the Raptors at Air Canada Centre.
The Raptors now have beaten the Wolves the last 14 times the teams have played in Toronto, dating to a Jan. 21, 2004 Wolves’ victory there.
This time, the Raptors did so by overcoming an early 13-point deficit with a fourth-quarter burst of their own.
Trailing since the game’s opening minutes, the Raptors pulled even by early in the fourth quarter and then scored 10 unanswered points and took a 92-84 lead with fewer than eight minutes left.
