Andrea Bargnani and DeMar DeRozan each contributed 15 points for Toronto.

The Timberwolves staged a late comeback to tie the score 84-84 when Kevin Love connected on a jumper with 2:17 to play. But the Raptors then ran off a 10-2 spurt to put the game away, which started with a Turkoglu slam and ended with his pair of free throws.
