Daily News | Sixers dominate Minnesota Timberwolves to complete 4-1 road trip
MINNEAPOLIS — Joel Embiid was the first 76er to greet Tyrese Maxey as he walked back to the bench after hitting pull-up three-pointer early in the fourth quarter, as if the All-Star big man knew Maxey’s flurry meant he could rest for the remainder of the night.
They outscored Minnesota 34-18 in the second quarter to build a 13-point halftime lead. That advantage grew to 70-50 when Embiid scored 12 consecutive points to begin the third quarter — and celebrated by holding an exaggerated follow-through after one three-point make as Timberwolves coach Chris Finch called timeout.
That individual showdown surfaced early, when, after Gobert scored inside, Embiid hit a jumper over him on consecutive possessions. Embiid made four of his first five shots, while Gober totaled six points, five rebounds and two assists during the opening frame. Maxey started 3-of-7 from the floor, but put his burst to the bucket on display during the second quarter, sank a three-pointer that put the Sixers up 20 in the third quarter and then went on his charge in the final frame.
