Coming off a thrilling win on South Beach against the Miami Heat, the Minnesota Timberwolves took their Western Conference-leading record to the City of Brotherly Love to take on the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Wolves came out of the gates strong, scoring the first eight points of the game, but Philly came back strong with a 7-0 run of their own. After a back-and-forth first frame, Philly led 28-24.
Foul trouble was an issue early on for the Wolves as Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, and Naz Reid all picked up two fouls in the first quarter of the game.
