Joel Embiid’s season-high 51 points and Tyrese Maxey’s 35-point performance propelled the Philadelphia 76ers (19-8) to a decisive 127-113 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves (20-6) on Wednesday night.
Tyrese Maxey’s 35-point contribution, particularly during a crucial stretch in the final quarter, secured the Sixers’ victory, bouncing back from a loss to Chicago on Monday.
Minnesota, led by Anthony Edwards (27 points), Karl-Anthony Towns (23 points), and Jaden McDaniels (21 points), entered the game with a formidable record but succumbed to Philadelphia’s offensive prowess.
Despite losing starting guard De’Anthony Melton to a left thigh contusion in the second half, Philadelphia showcased resilience and depth, with no other player scoring in double figures for the second consecutive game.
