It was Embiid's seventh career game with at least 50 points. Thirty-seven points (for Philadelphia) in the fourth quarter is way too much - we needed it to be under 30 for sure.” “I thought we would find a run or a rhythm. “We didn't play a clean or pretty game,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. The Timberwolves entered Wednesday night as winners of nine of its last 10 games and possessors of the league's best record. Minnesota (20-6) got 27 points from Anthony Edwards, 23 points from Karl-Anthony Towns and 21 from Jaden McDaniels.
And I've been trying to figure out is when to be aggressive and when to let my teammates do their thing.” “I felt like I was playing within the offense and not forcing anything,” said Embiid, who is averaging 38.3 points in the last 12 games and has scored 40 or more in four of his last five contests. Tyrese Maxey scored 35 points as Philadelphia (19-8) won for the seventh time in eight games, bouncing back nicely after a 108-104 loss to Chicago on Monday night. PHILADELPHIA - Joel Embiid scored a season-high 51 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers used a big fourth quarter to close out the Minnesota Timberwolves for a 127-113 win on Wednesday night.
