Nurse, asked if the pre-game exchange with Beverley helped Trent get fired up: “Gary’s pretty juiced up most nights, and I don’t think that was going to matter. Gary grew up here, so I think he was going to be juiced up for this one (regardless).” – 10:49 PM

Thing about the Beverley-OG thing — and I am sure Raptors fans don’t want to hear it — is that it was Brothers who was the only ref to see the Beverley hit and hit made that call – 9:32 PM

And they come out with OG getting a Flagrant 1 to reacting the PF they called on Beverley to begin it – 9:28 PM

Refs are gonna look this call over; Brothers had, I think, a foul on Beverley before the official on the other side of the court called OG for a PF – 9:24 PM

Trent and Barnes, who went 4-for-25 in New Orleans a couple days ago, hit 8 of their first 9 shots tonight. Question is: does Patrick Beverley get credited with an assist for each of ’em? – 8:31 PM

Judging on Gary Trent’s play, I’d like to request whatever Patrick Beverley said to him pre-game to be my morning alarm. – 8:25 PM

If Monday’s 30-point loss in New Orleans wasn’t enough to get the Raptors’ attention going into this one, Patrick Beverley certainly did. – 8:17 PM

I actually love Patrick Beverly, and am not surprised one bit that Gary Trent Jr. won’t have any of his BS. – 8:13 PM

With #Raptors stud Gary Trent Jr. at Target Center tonight to play the #Timberwolves, fun to look back at stories I did on him when he was at Apple Valley HS. BTW, Nowell and Vanderbilt were teammates of his on the USA U16 team I reference: pic.twitter.com/NsQhV8rOih – 6:21 PM

Timberwolves have made the Patrick Beverley extension official. A one-year, $13 million deal. Beverley gets a great payday, Wolves retain flexibility into the future. Good for both sides. – 10:09 AM

Gary Trent’s finally on the board, knocking down a 3 after missing his first 11 shots… and just as I was looking up the franchise record for most FGA in a game without hitting a shot.
(Rafer Alston went 0-for-12 in January of 2005, in case you were wondering) – 9:41 PM

Eric Walden: Rudy Gobert on his techs: “I just think both of them could have been non-technical fouls. I didn’t feel like I disrespected any official. I didn’t feel like I made any non-basketball play.” -via Twitter @tribjazz / February 15, 2022
Jimmy Butler: There are some real rivalries out there. I just think the game has changed in a lot of ways. They’re not letting you get into no brawls no more. Nobody’s going to let you do that. I wish that they would let us do that a little bit, if I’m just being honest. I really do think they’re still there. The game has just changed. It’s not as much banging and knocking people to the ground anymore. You can’t do it like that—you get a flagrant 1, a flagrant 2, a tech, something. I wish it would go back to that time. -via complex.com / February 8, 2022
