Here comes reality.
After five victories against lottery teams, the 76ers finally get a true test Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Wells Fargo Center.
Right now, the Sixers (41-30) look like world beaters coming off consecutive blowout victories over the tanking Orlando Magic on Thursday and the Memphis Grizzlies the night before. Before that, they racked up wins over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday and last week against the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks.
“I think we are playing good basketball right now against teams that aren’t the true sort of judgment,” coach Brett Brown said.
