Very solid offensive effort, again, by the Raptors, who are 62 per cent from the field overall and 61 per cent from 3 – 9:38 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Raptors by 5, 6:28 left in third
Triple double watch on Siakam, who has 9 pts, 9 assists, 6 rebs – 9:32 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
VanVleet’s got 21 points in 8 FGAs – 9:29 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
I know Kyle Anderson was really good in Memphis two years ago, but I think he might be playing the best basketball of his career right now. – 9:25 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Wolves actually have fewer turnovers and more offensive rebounds than the Raptors do at half. This one feels way more about their other at-times-bugaboo: 3-point shooting.
Toronto 64% from 3 in the first half while the Wolves were 28% from deep. Wolves down by 10 at half. – 9:10 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
No Chris Boucher in the first half after going scoreless in 14 minutes vs Milwaukee on Tuesday. Achiuwa, Hernangomez, Wieskamp and Thad Young all in ahead of him as Nurse went 9 deep. – 9:09 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Raptors lead TWolves 76-66 at half. VanVleet driving the offence with 18-and-7, and all the paint touches he wants. Gary Trent Jr. with 11. Toronto shooting 63% from the floor and 9-of-14 from deep. – 9:09 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
At one point this week, Fred VanVleet had hit 1 of 10 3PA. Since then? He’s 14-for-24, including a perfect 3-for-3 in that first half. – 9:08 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Raptors hang 76 in the first half. Amazing the Wolves are only down 10.
Think they miss Rudy Gobert?
Edwards has had a rough go of it on both ends. – 9:08 PM

Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Raptors up 76-66 at half
Another run defence-optional half of a late January game
VanVleet’s got 18, Trent 11 – 9:07 PM

Doug Smith @SmithRaps
There’s every reason for Minnesota to like Jaden McDaniels but he’s got “I Fit The Raptors Perfectly” written all over him – 9:06 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Clean strip there from Kyle Anderson, still draws the whistle.
The rest of the Wolves have really been mediocre or worse, but Anderson has been terrific. 11p, 7r, 4a – 9:01 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
McDaniels missed dunk. Wieskamp 3. Raptors up 18. – 8:54 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
In case you forgot – and after 5 straight DNPs, you may have – Thad Young is a good, impactful NBA player. – 8:49 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Raptors up 47-35 with 8:34 left in 2Q. Joe Weiskamp makes his first Raptors appearance and Thad Young on the floor too, ahead of Koloko and Boucher. Achiuwa and VanVleet with nine each. TWolves 2-of-12 from 3, Raps wisely staying in zone. – 8:48 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Joe Wieskamp and Thad Young ahead of Chris Boucher and Christian Koloko is not a thing I saw coming – 8:46 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Got some Anderson-Prince-McDaniels minutes happening, only this time it’s with Anderson at the 5, flanked by DLo and Moore.
That’s a different dynamic for that threesome than next to Ant and Rudy, like we’ve been seeing and liking. – 8:44 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
The Joe Wieskamp Era has begun. – 8:42 PM

Joe Wieskamp! – 8:42 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
The Raptors scored 8 points off Minnesota’s 5 first-quarter turnovers and have a 10-0 edge in fast-break scoring. Taking advantage of a tired and banged up team that didn’t get in until 4am last night. They’re up 37-31 after 12 minutes. – 8:41 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
At the end of the first quarter, the @Minnesota Timberwolves trail 37-31.
Anderson leads the way for Minnesota with 9 points on 4-4 shooting and a game-high 5 rebounds. His 5 rebounds in the 1st quarter are a season-high for any quarter. – 8:40 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Nice first Q from Toronto who lead 37-31 at Minnesota. VanVleet with 9pts and four assists on four shots. Achiuwa comes off the bench for 7 pts in five minutes. – 8:40 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Raps with their best quarter in transition in a while, lead 37-31 after a Q. VanVleet is on one, and has 9. So does Kyle Anderson. – 8:40 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Toronto with a 10-0 edge in fast-break points. They’re shooting 57%. Wolves down six after one. Anderson with 9 pts, 5 rebs, 2 assists. – 8:39 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Achiuwa with some nice energy off the bench, he’s got 7, FVV has 9 and Raptors up 37-31 after a quarter – 8:38 PM

Anthony Edwards is 1-5 with 2 TOs in 8 minutes.
Wolves look like they got in at 4 a.m. Gotta find a lift somewhere. – 8:30 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Raptors have converted all 4 Minnesota turnovers into baskets, they’re up 6 with 3:44 left in first quarter – 8:29 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Minnesota up 12-11 at first timeout, pretty good pace to the game, which is much appreciated – 8:20 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Every time Kyle Anderson shoots a 3, I think it’s going in. More than 41 percent of the time, it works every time. Great season for him. – 8:17 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Caught up with Apple Valley’s Gary Trent Jr. at shootaround today: “It feels better and better every time I come back [to Minnesota]. I feel like every time I came back here, every year I’ve progressed my role on my team and the opportunity on my team has gotten better.” – 8:04 PM

Wolves played on the road in altitude, lost a hard-fought game, have to play again less than 22 hrs later & are still without Gobert/Towns. A scheduling loss if I’ve ever seen one. If the Raptors can’t take advantage of this can we agree to move the trade deadline up to tomorrow? – 6:57 PM
Karl-Anthony Towns @KarlTowns
Who needs tickets for tonight’s game??? – 6:50 PM

Rudy Gobert (groin) is out again tonight. Finch called it “a true day to day” situation. – 6:42 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Chris Finch says Rudy Gobert is out tonight – 6:21 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Quietly last night: Jaylen Nowell was a +14 in 14 minutes. 9 pts on 4-6, 0 TOs.
His offense has been coming around of late. – 6:09 PM

No team outside of Minnesota recognizing Naz Reid’s skill set and making a move to go get him any time over the past few years is wild to me. And no team going to get him this summer after the Wolves traded for Gobert — when he could have been had for nothing — doesn’t make sense pic.twitter.com/lTtT8qDyXF3:23 PM

Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Taurean Prince, and Austin Rivers are all questionable to play tonight against the Raptors. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordan McLaughlin are out. – 2:53 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Re-watching Wolves-Nuggets from last night, and it stands out more on the screen than it did in-person how dedicated the Wolves were to not bringing doubles on Nikola Jokic post ups.
Asked Naz Reid about it after the game and he said that was the plan — play him straight up. – 2:26 PM
