Heading into Game 82 of the regular season, only two things really mattered for the Raptors: staying healthy, and keeping an eye on the opportunity for home court advantage in the Finals. Tuesday’s contest against the Timberwolves offered no actual narrative; there was no bad blood rivalry, no playoff bracket posturing, no effect to consider other than that those two mentioned above. As if to prove this conclusion, the Raptors went ahead and rested Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka — and then spent exactly one quarter playing down to their competition.
