Minnesota became the third NBA team to lead by 18 or more after three quarters in each of its first three games.
The Timberwolves defeated the Raptors at Target Center on Sunday, securing their third consecutive win to open the NBA season undefeated.
After defeating Miami and Orlando to begin the regular season, The Wolves dominated Toronto in their home opener, pulling away decisively in the third quarter.
Jonathan Kuminga and Terrence Shannon provided perimeter support as The Wolves shot 15 for 31 from distance, building on their 40.2% shooting mark entering the game.
