Fans of the Toronto Raptors have had to endure a lot of frustrating results over the past few weeks, and Wednesday’s 112-109 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center was yet another spoke in the wheel of frustration for Canada’s lone NBA club.
Simply put, this was a game the Raptors let get away. Fast. The Dinos were on cruise control in the first half, leading 63-53 after two quarters. They started to show some holes in the third quarter (particularly on defense) before completely melting down in the final frame.
Canada’s own Andrew Wiggins and dominant big man Karl-Anthony Towns steamrolled the Raptors by finishing with 31 and 29 points, respectively.
