The Philadelphia 76ers ( 1 - 17 ) finally broke their winless streak , beating the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 4 - 13 ) 85 - 77 on Wednesday night at the Target Center . Philadelphia must have breathed a sigh of relief after this one . They badly needed to get their first win to avoid further embarassment , and got it done against the Timberwolves . The 76ers were led by a well - rounded team effort , but specifically by Michael Carter-Williams ' near triple - double , with 20 points ( 9 - 20 FG , 0 - 3 3Pt , 2 - 7 FT ) , nine assists and nine rebounds in 43 minutes . Two key players led the bench charge for the Sixers as well , with K.J . McDaniels playing 36 minutes and Robert Covington getting 31 . McDaniels scored 12 points ( 4 - 13 FG , 2 - 9 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) to go with nine rebounds , four blocks , two assists and one steal , while Covington scored 17 points ( 5 - 13 FG , 3 - 6 3Pt , 4 - 4 FT ) to go with four rebounds , one assist and one steal . The Timberwolves are dealing with injuries galore currently , as Ricky Rubio ( ankle ) and Kevin Martin ( wrist ) are out for what will likely be another month , and Nikola Pekovic ( wrist ) should be out for another week and a half . This meant heavy minutes for the starters , and all five players went over 30 minutes , with four of the five playing at least 36 minutes . Gorgui Dieng was the most impressive of the bunch , as he posted a strong double - double with 15 points ( 6 - 12 FG , 3 - 5 FT ) and 16 rebounds . Mo Williams had a solid all - around night as well , with 14 points ( 5 - 14 FG , 2 - 8 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) , seven assissts and six rebounds .
