There was a lot working against Minnesota on Saturday in Toronto.The Timberwolves were sans Anthony Edwards, who missed his first game of the season after spraining his ankle Friday in Chicago.

He tweeted a picture of a lion clawing at a cage Saturday, with the caption “Me waiting to get cleared to play…. let the kid do what he loves.”Meanwhile, many of the Timberwolv...
