Raptors Lose Again, Struggle with Late-Game Collapse

0:00For the NBA, it's March 6, and here's what's going on. The Toronto Raptors fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves by 8 points, 115-107, at the Target Center. It was another close loss for Toronto, who started strong but couldn't hold on through the full game. In the first half, the Raptors forced turnovers and kept things tight, but the second half slipped away with their own ball-handling issues letting. Minnesota scored easy points off mistakes. Coach Darko Rajakovic pointed out they did well early on turnovers, but fell short later, while forward RJ Barrett noted the Timberwolves ramped up. Their physicality, just like in their last meeting a month ago, that previous match-up saw Minnesota come back strong in the fourth quarter for the win, and they've added guard Iodosumu since then, boosting their speed and second union. This pattern of strong starts fading late is a real problem for Toronto, as they rarely get blown out, but struggle to sustain effort for all.
