The Sixers went up to Minnesota to tackle the Timberwolves who had played a thrilling overtime game last night and won against the Golden State Warriors. This game had a bit of drama too, as the Sixers put together a 21 point lead when Tobias Harris drilled a 25 foot step back triple to make it 41-20. But the Wolves would slowly chip away for the rest of the game, eventually cutting the Sixer lead to 3.
In the end, however, Jonah Bolden would simply not allow Philadelphia to lose. The rookie from Australia would get the start because Joel Embiid was reported to have remained at home for the Sixers’ three-game road trip.
