The Philadelphia 76ers (10 - 37) notched their 10th win of the season Friday, knocking off the Minnesota Timberwolves (8 - 38) 103 - 94 at the Wells Fargo Center. After starting the season 0 - 17, Philadelphia has played much better of late and has gone 10 - 20 over its last 30 games. While its record in that span may not jump off the page, the emergence of its young players has been encouraging. Michael Carter-Williams had his third triple - double of the season Friday, putting up 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. Carter-Williams is now tied with Rajon Rondo for the league lead in triple - doubles. In addition, the 76ers had 16 fast break points, compared to just five such points for the Timberwolves. Minnesota was unable to close the gap late with some poor shooting and a poor defensive effort. There were some bright spots for the Timberwolves, however. Kevin Martin, in his second game back from a wrist injury, had 19 points and five assists in 30 minutes off the bench. Nikola Pekovic looked strong as well, putting up 18 points and seven rebounds. The Timberwolves will play the second half of a back - to - back set Saturday when they host the Cavaliers. Philadelphia scored over 100 points for the first time since a Dec. 13 overtime loss to Memphis. Nerlens Noel continued to be a defensive force Friday, recording six blocks to go along with 14 points and six rebounds. Friday's win was just the third time this season Philadelphia has strung together consecutive wins. Philadelphia will wrap up its back - to - back set Saturday in Atlanta.
