The Minnesota Timberwolves staged a remarkable comeback against the Toronto Raptors, turning an 18-point deficit into a thrilling 128-126 victory on February 4, 2026. This game was a tale of two halves, with Toronto dominating early on.
But here's where the game took a dramatic turn: Anthony Edwards, the hero of the night, exploded in the fourth quarter, scoring 13 of his 30 points and leading the Timberwolves' charge. He was well supported by Bones Hyland, who contributed 20 points, and Jaden McDaniels, who added 19. The Timberwolves' depth shone through as Naz Reid, Julius Randle, and Donte DiVincenzo all scored in double digits, helping to secure the win.
The Raptors, however, didn't go down without a fight. Brandon Ingram's 25 points, including a last-gasp three-pointer, kept them in the game. Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes also impressed with 23 and 22 points, respectively, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Raptors' fourth home loss in five games.
A key moment came late in the fourth quarter: With 2:26 remaining, Edwards drove to the basket for a layup, giving the Timberwolves a slender 118-117 lead, their first since the early stages of the second quarter. Despite Edwards' struggles from beyond the arc, he made up for it with efficient scoring inside, going 10 for 15 on two-point attempts.
Toronto's turnover woes in the final period proved costly, as they gave up 11 points off seven turnovers, allowing the Timberwolves to capitalize on their mistakes.
This game showcased the Timberwolves' resilience and the Raptors' recent struggles at home. With the trade deadline looming, the absence of Guard Ochai Agbaji from the Raptors' lineup raises questions about potential roster moves.
And the action continues... The Timberwolves will look to build on this momentum as they host the New Orleans Pelicans next, while the Raptors aim to bounce back against the Chicago Bulls. Will the Timberwolves continue their winning ways, or will the Raptors find their home form? Stay tuned to find out!
