The Toronto Raptors struggled to overcome a slow start, ultimately falling to the hosts, Minnesota Timberwolves, 101-112. Despite a solid fourth-quarter push, the Raptors’ struggles for the better part of the game proved too much to overcome, as the Timberwolves were too good to let this game slip off their hands.
Toronto’s Gradey Dick had a career-high despite the loss, dropping 25 points, including 4-for-9 from the perimeter. Scottie Barnes shook off a slow start, finishing 20 points, eight boards, and six dimes. Unfortunately, he was erratic with the ball, committing four of his six giveaways in the first half.
