NBA Summer League recap: Timberwolves 90, Nuggets 71

Marcus Paige led the way with 18 points, but the Minnesota Timberwolves lost their opening game of the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, 97-72 to the Toronto Raptors.

Paige, the former standout guard at North Carolina, shot 3 of 6 from the arc, a perfect 5 for 5 from the charity stripe and 5 of 12 overall in the loss.

He was the only starter to make a big impact in the game, but the Wolves saw solid production from their reserves.

Former Davidson guard Jack Gibbs came off the bench and scored 17 points in just 19 minutes, nailing three 3s.
