The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Miami Heat this Saturday night, aiming to post its first win of the year. Meanwhile, the East Conference champs will have to play the second of back-to-back nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Toronto Raptors hosted the T-Wolves on the opening night, squeezing out a 97-94 victory. It was a tight game, where KAT and the boys had their chance to end up on the winning side. Toronto’s good defense and a bit of luck prevailed, but overall, nobody can say that Minnesota played poorly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anthony Edwards was the top-scorer for the guests, having 26 points, but shooting 8-for-27 from the field, which was terrible. He had 14 boards as well, the most among the T-Wolves, who recorded 62 in total. Karl-Anthony Towns also wasn’t in the scoring mood, with eight hits from the field in 25 attempts, ending the night with 19 buckets and ten boards. Gobert posted a double-double, too, with 15 points and 12 boards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
