The Minnesota Timberwolves stretched their winning streak to five games with a 115-107 victory over the Toronto Raptors at Target Center on Thursday night. They started slow, falling behind 15-5 early on thanks to sluggish play and foul trouble for JD McDaniels. Anthony Edwards managed just eight points before halftime, but Julius Randall's 14 points helped grab a slim 55-54 lead. Edwards exploded in the third quarter, adding 11 points including a monster dunk on RJ Barrett that fired up the crowd. That surge shifted the momentum completely. Solid bench work from Nas Reed and Iodosunmu helped the wolves outscore Toronto by 13 and the second half, sealing the deal. Now sitting at 40 wins and 23 losses, the Timberwolves are safely past the play in spot in the Western Conference. They rest Friday before hosting the Magic at 2pm.
