Youngsters were on display in this matchup of struggling teams and Andrew Wiggins shined the brightest . Wiggins finished the game with 35 points and 10 rebounds on 14 - of - 20 shooting . He 's on quite the tear right now , as he has scored 111 points across his last three games . Karl-Anthony Towns played well too , as he accumulated 25 points and 10 rebounds on 12 - of - 18 shooting . That shooting percentage was especially encouraging , considering he was just 16 - of - 45 across his last two games . Robert Covington continues to struggle for the Sixers , as he went just 1 - of - 12 from the field here en route to four points . In fact , that 's the seventh game this season that Covington has shot below 22 percent from the field , while taking at least six shots . Joel Embiid did finish with a 10 - point , 10 - rebound double - double , but most of that production came in meaningless minutes . The host Minnesota Timberwolves obliterated the Philadelphia 76ers , 110 - 86 , at Target Center on Thursday . In a battle between two developing franchises , the Timberwolves showed just how much further along they are than the Sixers . Minnesota took it to Philadelphia early , as they led by 28 points at the half and held the Sixers to just 33 points in that 24 - minute stretch . Defense was key all night long , as the T'Wolves held the Sixers to 37 percent from the field and 28 percent from three - point range . Minnesota also dominated down low , as they won the rebounding battle 49 - 40 and the points in the paint differential 56 - 40 . The Sixers ( 2 - 10 ) continue to struggle and results like this are downright ugly . Ersan Ilyasova was a lone bright spot , as he led the starters with 13 points , three rebounds and three assists . Nik Stauskas played well off the bench , totaling 13 points , four rebounds and two steals of his own . Dario Saric led the team in scoring , as he dropped 16 points of his own off the bench . Robert Covington struggled with his shot yet again , as he scored just four points on 1 - of - 12 shooting . Joel Embiid played 22 minutes and amassed 10 points and 10 rebounds . On deck for the Sixers is a home matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday . The Timberwolves ( 4 - 7 ) had their first primetime game in awhile and they did n't disappoint . Andrew Wiggins was especially impressive , as he scored a game - high 35 points on 14 - of - 20 shooting . He also added 10 rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes of action . Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double - double in the blowout , totaling 25 points , 10 rebounds and two blocks . Gorgui Dieng also recorded a double - double , accumulating 12 points , 10 rebounds and three assists . The Timberwolves will look to build off this win when they travel to Memphis to play the Grizzlies on Saturday for their next game .
