Opening up a game thread for an early Thursday evening matchup that sends the Wolves to Toronto to face the Raptors. In the game preview, we discussed how the Raptors have a sneaky good offense this season and the Wolves have a tall task on the road.
A few notes from good Wolves-Twitter follows:
- “Andrew Wiggins is putting up 23/3.8/2 against his hometown Raptors for his career.” -@SeehaferNBA
- “DeMarre Carroll will play tonight vs Wolves. He isn't playing back-to-back games but Dwane Casey needs him to defend Wiggins & others.” -@JerryZgoda
- “Twolves are last in NBA attendance. Is the team's ticketing system a factor?” - @RandBall
- And this has to be good:
It was great to get in a deep dive on the Wolves with @Barryathree on this week's #RaisedByWolves. https://t.co/Fl1yd8uF58
