NBA: Joel Embiid scores record 51 points as Philadelphia 76ers beat Minnesota Timberwolves 127-113

Joel Embiid scored a season-high 51 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers used a big fourth quarter to close out the Minnesota Timberwolves for a 127-113 victory on Wednesday night. Tyrese Maxey scored 35 points as Philadelphia (19-8) won for the seventh time in eight games, rebounding well from a 108-104 loss to Chicago on Monday night. Minnesota (20-6) got 27 points from Anthony Edwards, 23 points from Karl-Anthony Towns and 21 from Jaden McDaniels. The Timberwolves entered Wednesday night as winners of nine of their last 10 games and owners of the best record in the league. Embiid recorded his 12th straight game with 30 or more points and 10-plus rebounds. It’s the longest such streak in the NBA since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did it in 16 straight games for the Milwaukee Bucks during the 1971-72 season.
