Timberwolves Dominate Short-Handed 76ers in 126-112 Victory
Minnesota capitalized on Philadelphia's injury struggles, securing their second consecutive win for the first time in weeks.
- Anthony Edwards scored all 18 of his points in the first half, while Naz Reid led the Timberwolves with 23 points in a balanced team effort.
- The 76ers, missing key players Joel Embiid (out for the season) and Tyrese Maxey (back injury), struggled to compete and have now lost 13 of their last 15 games.
- Minnesota used a dominant 25-9 run at the start of the fourth quarter to pull away, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker contributing 20 points off the bench.
- Julius Randle, in his second game back from injury, added 16 points as the Timberwolves continue to benefit from improved roster health.
- Quentin Grimes led Philadelphia with 30 points, but the team's injury woes and recent back-to-back schedule hindered their performance.
