Raptors-Timberwolves Preview

(AP) -- Backed by a strong stretch on the defensive end, the Toronto Raptors are on the verge of moving nine games above .500 for the first time in seven years.

Though the Raptors have dominated the series over the past decade, they could have a difficult time continuing that trend on the road against the high-scoring Minnesota Timberwolves.

Atlantic Division-leading Toronto seeks its ninth win in 11 games while Minnesota hopes to continue its playoff push with its eighth win in 10 on Sunday night.
