Another porous defensive effort looked to be taking shape out of the gate. Posting a 138 defensive rating in Memphis, the Wolves matched that in the first act of Wednesday night, with an identical 138 first-half defensive rating.

Anthony Edwards scored 13 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter, Bones Hyland had 20 points and the Minnesota Timberwolves overcame an 18-point deficit to beat the Toronto Raptors 128-126 on Wednesday.

It would involve Charlotte buying out the veteran point guard’s contract, and Conley signing a pro-rated free agent deal

The Timberwolves have lost 20 consecutive games in Toronto. Can they end the streak tonight?

Anthony Edwards anotó 13 de sus 30 puntos en el último cuarto, Bones Hyland sumó 20 unidades y los Timberwolves de Minnesota superaron un déficit de 18 tantos para vencer el miércoles 128-126 a los Raptors de Toronto.

To understand the weight of what happened Wednesday night at Scotiabank Arena, you have to rewind the clock. The last time the Minnesota Timberwolves won a basketball game in Toronto, “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” was the No.

Naz Reid added 17 points off the bench, and the Wolves' short bench still outscored Toronto's reserves 37 to 30, despite only playing seven players for more than six total minutes. Most of Minnesota's roster wasn't old enough to have any recollection of the franchise's last win in Toronto, but they were able to get the job done.

And, as the crucial centerpiece of the deal, the Wolves landed Mike Conley.

The Minnesota Timberwolves were lost in the winter of 2023, trying like hell to make an unconventional frontcourt of Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns work as they pushed to enter the contender conversation in the Western Conference.
