Even for this time of year, that wasn’t a pretty win. The Summer Sixers led by as much as 16 in the second half, but barely held on for a 92-90 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday night. Neither team shot better than 20% from three and they combined to take 75 free throws.
While his shooting line only slighted improved, Jared McCain led the Sixers with 21 points tonight. He was 5-of-16 from the field and 2-of-8 from three, but also went 9-of-9 from the line — his last two putting them up by three with eight seconds to go.
