For me it's about maintaining, start off well, finish well," Lowry said. "It's only pre-season."Cory Joseph added 14 points, Jonas Valanciunas had 13 points and Luis Scola 12.Andrew Wiggins, the reigning NBA rookie of the year led the Wolves (0-3) with 21 points in 18 minutes.

"Thanksgiving, so happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians out there. We had our Thanksgiving the other night, they came out here to support me. A lot of love floating around here."Bennett, whose defense has been impressive thus far, had five rebounds to go with three points in 19 minutes.The Raptors and Wolves meet again in Ottawa on Wednesday as part of the NBA's Canada Series, which featured sold out games in Winnipeg and Vancouver, and then Ottawa and Montreal.
