Timberwolves 112-101 Raptors (Oct 26, 2024) Game Recap

Another Statement Win for the Timberwolves in Toronto

The Minnesota Timberwolves continued their impressive start to the 2024-25 season with a 112-101 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

Anthony Edwards led the way for the Timberwolves with 28 points, while Rudy Gobert added 18 points and 16 rebounds. D'Angelo Russell also chipped in with 17 points.

The Raptors were led by Pascal Siakam's 30 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Timberwolves' balanced attack.

Edwards Continues to Impress

Edwards has been one of the most impressive players in the NBA this season, and he continued to show why against the Raptors.

The 21-year-old guard was 11-of-20 from the field, including 3-of-7 from three-point range.

Edwards also added 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals.

Gobert's Impact

Gobert was a force in the paint for the Timberwolves, finishing with 18 points, 16 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

The 29-year-old center is one of the best defenders in the league, and he showed why against the Raptors.

Gobert's presence in the paint made it difficult for the Raptors to score inside, and he also helped to limit Siakam's effectiveness.

Balanced Attack

The Timberwolves' victory was a testament to their balanced attack.

Edwards led the way with 28 points, but Russell (17 points), Jaden McDaniels (12 points), and Naz Reid (11 points) also made significant contributions.

The Timberwolves' ability to get scoring from multiple players makes them a difficult team to defend.

Looking Ahead

The Timberwolves will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

The Lakers are one of the most talented teams in the NBA, but the Timberwolves have shown that they can compete with anyone.

A win over the Lakers would be another statement win for the Timberwolves and would further cement their status as a contender in the Western Conference.
