Tobias Harris scored 32 points and Joel Embiid added 24 in his return from a 10-game absence to lift the host Philadelphia 76ers to a 122-113 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.
Shake Milton and Ben Simmons each had 14 points and Seth Curry chipped in 13 for the 76ers, who have won 12 of their last 15 games. Philadelphia shot 50.6 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from 3-point range to win its eighth straight meeting with Minnesota. Rookie Anthony Edwards added 27 points, marking the fifth consecutive contest that he has scored at least 20 points.
Minnesota scored 10 straight points to bridge the third and fourth quarters and trim Philadelphia's lead to 97-88. Edwards' dunk pulled the Timberwolves within four with 2:02 to play, but Harris responded with an emphatic one of his own on the next possession. Harris sank a mid-range jumper, and Embiid followed up a free throw by blocking Edwards at the rim to essentially preserve the win.
