Third game in four nights? On a Friday? And a 9:00 p.m. start? Oh, and two injured starters? Yikes.
This whole thing didn’t sound good from the start. And it lived down to those expectations too, as the Toronto Raptors barely squeaked out an ugly 86-81 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, one that saw them give up 23-1 run bridging the third and fourth quarters... and then close the game on an 11-0 run.
Still, a win is a win, and the Raptors have finally evened their record out at 15-15.
