Initially, the energy whiplash in going from a nationally-televised game against Lebron James and the defending champion Lakers to facing the KAT-less, last-place Timberwolves was severe. The Sixers missed their first seven field goals, and failed to convert a lot of open shots throughout the first half. However, a continual march to the charity stripe kept Sixers fans from getting too nervous, and Philadelphia finally broke things open with a 35-point third quarter to earn a sizable double-digit advantage.
