The Philadelphia 76ers match up against the Minnesota Timberwolves was suppose to be a hard fought match up for Jimmy Butler versus his former team, as well as a home coming for Dario Saric and Robert Covington. However, to say this was a competitive game would be a mistake.
The Sixers had a 40-27 lead at the end of the first and by half time Philly had a 83-58 lead over Minny. The half time score for the 76ers was only 3 points away from tying a franchise record of 86 points in the first half.
