Death, taxes and the Timberwolves losing in Toronto. For over 20 years, these three have been constants as while the Wolves did eke out a win at home in February 2021, that was during the season where the Raptors were trapped in Tampa Bay.

Until tonight.

Thanks to several bad turnovers by RJ & Jamal Shead, some no-calls on travels by Minnesota Timberwolves players and the Raptors hot 3-point shooting evaporating late in the 4th, Minnesota won for the first time since 2004.

To put this into perspective: The last time Minnesota got a win in Toronto, Gary Trent Sr. - father of current Bucks player Gary Trent Jr. - was in the league. Sam Cassell led the Timberwolves in points (33) and assists (13) that night in a 108-97 rout.

Gonna be pedantic here but it’s a 22 year drought, 20 games. Latest win in Toronto was January 21st, 2004.

Tampa Bay is not Toronto

I originally added that context to explain why it was 20 games over 22 years but realized you already had it in your original post so I removed it. Regardless, the correction here is because it is 22 years not 20.

A raptors fan complaining about reffing when they had multiple 5 point swing plays (tbh with how bad the wolves shot from the line maybe just 3 points)

He had like 15 points in the clutch prior to that he was relatively quiet, poor wording from me earlier. Also a testament to how good of a player he is, dude can flip a switch and just go crazy in the clutch.

Ha, have to include the travels?

Bro, it’s the NBA if you are complaining about travels not called for your loss… you are reaching.

I don’t even know what they are talking about there was 1 on Jaden that probably shoudlnt have been called (very generous with gather rules) and the other one just wasn’t a travel clearly

But i’m sure Chris Paul will solve all of the lack of shooting and no 7 footers

I’ve heard enough. Give Anthony Edwards the crown of Franchise GOAT already.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have broken a 20 year win drought in Toronto.
