As the Timberwolves trudge onward without Anthony Edwards for an indefinite amount of time, generating offense is likely to be an issue for them.
But slowing down Toronto on the other end of the floor was their biggest issue in a 122-107 loss on the road.
You might understand why the Wolves were a step slow all night — they got in late to Toronto after playing a double-overtime heartbreaker in Chicago on Friday. But the Wolves have no room for error left the rest of the season, and every loss is a hurtful one, no matter how understandable it may be.
