Andrew Wiggins provided a home-team spark but the Raptors shot 51.6 percent as a team. The starting backcourt of Fred VanVleet (29) and Kyle Lowry (28) combined for 57 points.
For the Wolves offense, it was a too-familiar case of diminishing returns.
Saturday night at Target Center against the Toronto Raptors – a game played by two teams that played elsewhere on Friday – the Wolves started out hot but ended ... well, not.
Up after a quarter and again at the half, the Wolves allowed the Raptors – a veteran team that continues to win in the post-Kawhi Leonard era – to take control of the game in the third on the way to a 122-112 victory.
