About an hour before tipoff, it was announced Jimmy Butler (sore right knee) and Jamal Crawford (left toe sprain) would not play on Saturday night against the third-best team record-wise in the NBA.
It would have been easy for a shorthanded Wolves squad to look ahead to Monday’s game against Clippers. But that’s the exact opposite of what happened.
The Wolves won 115-109 against the Toronto Raptors at Target Center despite being down by as much as 11 points.
Andrew Wiggins, who was born in Toronto, led the Wolves with 29 points and five rebounds. Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 10 rebounds.
