Wolves 112, 76ers 109: Survive and Advance
The Minnesota Timberwolves haven’t made anything easy dating back to their 2022 Play-In Game victory, so why would they start now?
After leading by as much as 20 in the first half, Minnesota crumbled down the stretch. Anthony Edwards’ seven fourth-quarter points proved to be barely enough — but enough — to stave off a furious rally in the final frame to defeat Joel Embiid and his depleted Philadelphia 76ers 112-109. Even though the Sixers were without James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris, given the Wolves’ standing now at 8-8, they’ll take any win they can get, no matter how ugly it is.
