In Tuesday's 94-88 win, the Raptors shot just 32.1% from the field, but held Minnesota to 37%, the third straight time they have kept an opponent under 40%.

"The good thing about it is we have a defensive win and we haven't had one of those all season," said Antoine Wright. "We could have easily just said, `It's not our night' because we weren't making shots, but guys stuck with it and I think it says a lot about the direction we're going in as a team."
