MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Tyrese Maxey<\/a> had 39 points and eight assists, VJ Edgecombe<\/a> made a career-high six 3-pointers and finished with 24 points, and the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> beat the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> 135-108 on Sunday night to snap a four-game losing streak \u2014 all by double figures. <\/p>\n

Maxey made 16 of 28 shots from the field and hit four of Philadelphia’s 21 3-pointers. Quentin Grimes<\/a> had 19 points, which included five 3s, and seven assists. Kelly Oubre<\/a> Jr. added 18 points and four steals. <\/p>\n

Coming off a 126-111 defeat Saturday night at New Orleans, the Sixers were again without center Joel Embiid<\/a>, who missed his third straight game since the All-Star break due to right shin soreness. Embiid also sat out three of the last five games going into the break with soreness in his right knee.<\/p>\n

Minnesota had its three-game win streak snapped. Anthony Edwards<\/a> scored 19 of his 28 points in the first half for the Timberwolves. Jaden McDaniels<\/a> added 19 and Julius Randle<\/a> scored 18. <\/p>\n

Naz Ried (shoulder soreness) did not play for Minnesota, and Rudy Gobert<\/a> served a one-game suspension for accumulating too many flagrant fouls. Gobert, the four-time NBA<\/a> defensive player of the year, will be suspended two games for each additional flagrant foul this season. <\/p>\n

Joan Beringer<\/a>, a 6-foot-11 center, made his first career start for the Timberwolves. Picked No. 17 overall in the 2025 draft, Beringer had two points and three fouls in five first-half minutes. Ayo Dosunmu<\/a> started the third quarter in Beringer\u2019s place and finished with 12 points. <\/p>\n

Grimes hit a 3-pointer and then found a cutting Adem Bona<\/a> for a dunk before Maxey drained a fadeaway jumper and a 3 to cap a 10-2 run that made it 35-26 at the end of the first quarter. Philadelphia led the rest of the way. <\/p>\n
