Game 56: Timberwolves at Raptors

Raptors looking for some payback for a pre-All Star break loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves as the T-Wolves come to Toronto for tonight's match up

• The Wolves are a young team, evident by their starting line-up which features 2 sophomores in Andrew Wiggins and Zach Lavine and Rookie of the year candidate Karl-Anthony Towns who had a huge game against the Raptors in their previous match-up
• The last 2 Raptors games saw Toronto play exceptional defense. A little bit of slippage in the second quarter of the New York game, but all business in the second half. So much so DeMar and Kyle were able to sub out with around 3 minutes left and watch their rookies take over the night
• Zach Lavine is fresh off having an incredible All-Star Weekend in Toronto. He won the MVP in the rising stars challenge and narrowly defended his slam dunk championship in one of the best dunk showdowns in a long time against the Orlando Magic's Aaron Gordon.
