Hell of a win. Good for Wiggins to step up like a max player when we needed him tonight. The "young" guys were great tonight in Tyus, Wiggins, Towns, MGH. Taj solid once again. Gorgui was nice, and Bazz gave productive minutes and good for him.

I wish Lavine could have lost us that game.

My favorite win of the season. Team win. Everyone contributed.

If someone had told me going into this game that we wouldn't have Butler or Crawford and that Towns would be irrelevant in the first half due to fowl trouble, I would have projected a 20 point loss to the Raptors.

Even Bazz was strong on the floor.

Love it. SKOL

Wiggins has special talent but he doesn't use it consistently. Tonight he was great Wiggins, which is no surprise given the opponent was Toronto, he always shows up for Toronto and Cleveland. You never see low effort games from Butler, and for what Wiggins is going to be paid there should be none from him either. If the anti-Wiggins sentiment bothers you now, just wait until he floats through a few games next season!

Great win with a very nice contribution from the bench, and MGH specifically!

He is 22. And he went from being the first option to the third. He will adjust. Thibs loves Wiggins for a reason.  He's learning to be consistent.

Really excited for Lip game report. I really enjoyed this one

It's great we finally wound up with one of those "under-the-radar" players. MGH has been very solid, and shined given an opportunity with Butler out. Nice job, Thibs!

If we only played Cleveland and Toronto, Andrew Wiggins would live up to his potential. He was great tonight. So was Towns despite playing only eight minutes in the first half.

Shoutout to Georges-Hunt for delivering when his number was called. Career high in minutes and points, but no play bigger, in my opinion, than the charge he drew on DeRozan under 2:00 to go. Those are the plays that show why Thibs trusts him.

One more shoutout -- Shabazz Muhammad. The guy just isn't cut out to be an NBA player. Even with plays run specifically for him, he's as predictable as the sun rising in the morning. He has no tangible skill and sucks at everything that mainly determines wins or losses -- defense, ball movement, and perimeter shooting. I wanted to cut my eyes out while he was on the floor.

Great win for the Wolves. Thankfully, the Raptors beat the Spurs last night too.

Yep, the thing I have enjoyed about Wiggins this season the last month or so he has consistently played good defense and it has been there mostly every night.

Games like tonight are the reason why there will always be a trade market for wiggins and in my opinion there is no reason to trade him and he becomes the next derozan or oladipo where he leaves and he just becomes a stud somewhere else.

Who knows he might always be the player leaving us wanting more, but I do think it is huge that your 3rd option can have games like tonight and he doesn't miss games (knock on wood).

Like old times tonight. Wiggins with 29 and Towns with 22. Fun game and a big win without Jimmy.
