WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — E'Twaun Moore scored 18 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 114-105 preseason victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.
The big attraction, however was Canada native and reigning NBA rookie of the year Andrew Wiggins, who had nine points in 24 minutes for the Timberwolves.
Wiggins received the loudest cheer when the No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft was introduced to the sold-out crowd of 15,294 at MTS Centre, many sporting shirts with his No. 22.
Tyus Jones had 18 points for the Timberwolves.
The last NBA game in Winnipeg in 2012 also drew a packed house.
The teams crossed the border as part of this year's Canada Series. Five NBA teams are playing four exhibition games in cities that don't have teams — Vancouver, Winnipeg, Ottawa and Montreal.
