The Minnesota Timberwolves defeat the Toronto Raptors 117-94 in the team’s home opener, snapping the Raptors’ season-opening two-game winning streak. The game features a strong scoring burst from Anthony Edwards, who scores 26 points in 27 minutes as Minnesota shoots well and wins comfortably.
Toronto is missing star Kawhi Leonard due to a knee issue, and his absence shapes the Raptors’ rotation. LaMelo Ball contributes 15 points and makes four of his five three-point attempts, though foul trouble limits his minutes in what is described as his regular-season debut in front of his new home crowd.
Coverage also places the result in the broader early-season context: one outlet notes the Timberwolves’ prior unbeaten start after blowout road wins, and another highlights the Raptors’ streak ending with the loss.
