Jonas Valanciunas had 15 points and 15 rebounds, DeMar DeRozan scored 21 and the Toronto Raptors won their 11th straight home game over Minnesota, beating the Timberwolves 105-100 on Wednesday night.
Terrence Ross added 15 points and Patrick Patterson had 14 as the Raptors won for the third time in five games. They spoiled the Toronto debut of 2014 top draft pick Andrew Wiggins, who grew up in the city’s north suburbs.
The Raptors have won seven straight meetings with Minnesota and haven’t lost at home to the Timberwolves since dropping a 108-97 decision on Jan. 21, 2004.
Toronto guard Kyle Lowry left with just under five minutes to go in the third quarter after injuring his back in a hard fall. He did not return.
