Despite a much-improved offensive effort, the Raptors were unable to recover from a slow start and dropped a 103-94 decision to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday afternoon. New head coach Nick Nurse continues to spread minutes around as 13 different players saw the floor in an effort to get a look at both old and fresh faces.
While it is just a small sample, Nurse can’t be pleased with his team’s defense thus far as opponents are shooting 45.7 percent from the field and getting to the charity stripe 33 times per night.
