MINNEAPOLIS -- The Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves had a combined record of 5-16 heading into their game on Thursday night, which may not seem an ideal matchup to be featured on TNT. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Brian-Dawkins-Jersey/ .But the network folks understand that these two long-suffering franchises boast some of the most intriguing young talent in the league. And the Timberwolves showed just how much further along they are in the rebuilding process.Andrew Wiggins had 35 points, 10 rebounds and four assists to lead the Timberwolves to a 110-86 victory over the 76ers.Karl-Anthony Towns had 25 points and 10 rebounds and Gorgui Dieng added 12 points and 10 boards for the Wolves (4-7). The Wolves shot 50.6 percent and avoided the poor third quarter that had plagued them this season.I think that theyre a lot further ahead for all the obvious reasons, and its not a lack of respect or disservice to our guys at all, Sixers coach Brett Brown said. This group that youre looking at played with each other all last year, many, many, many, many games together.Joel Embiid had 10 points and 10 rebounds in 23 minutes after sitting out the front end of Philadelphias back-to-back on Wednesday night. Dario Saric led the way with 16 points, but the 76ers lost their 21st straight road game.Theyre young and theyre still going to get better, and thats where weve got to get to, Embiid said. When you learn how to play with each other, its easier to play.Wiggins made 14 of 20 shots, including 3 of 6 3-pointers. The Wolves had been outscored by a league-worst 91 points in 10 third quarters this season, but they led by 28 at halftime on Thursday night, rendering a minus-1 in this game moot.At times last year I would drift to the corner and stay there, Wiggins said. Im just being more active. My awareness is higher. Im doing more.In a matchup of two of the best young big men in the league, Towns blew past Embiid to throw down a ferocious dunk in the fourth quarter to get the crowd on its feet. He made 12 of 18 shots.TIP-INS76ers: The last time the Sixers won a road game was Jan. 20 at Orlando. ... Nik Stauskas had 13 points and five rebounds. ... Philly scored just 33 points on 31 percent shooting, tied for its lowest scoring output of the season.Timberwolves: Wiggins entered the game leading the NBA in 3-point shooting at 55 percent. ... F Shabazz Muhammad (sore right knee) and G/F Brandon Rush (right big toe) were both out again.NERVOUS FANSEmbiid missed the first two seasons after being drafted because of foot problems, and even in visiting arenas there is an audible gasp every time the 7-foot center falls to the court. He got tangled with Ricky Rubio early in the first quarter and appeared to be clutching his left ankle as he went to the bench. He was able to return in the second quarter, much to the relief of NBA fans everywhere.He waited so long to actually play and now hes dominating, said Wiggins, who was college teammates with Embiid at Kansas. Hes playing short minutes, but hes still getting numbers and playing really good.Embiid hit the deck again in the fourth when Wolves forward Adreian Payne threw him down while wrestling for a rebound. Payne was given a technical foul.GOOD CROWDThe Wolves announced attendance of 16,866, easily the largest of the year. It came one game after the arena was half-empty for a game against Charlotte. The low attendance early has been a troubling sign for an organization that was hoping to turn the corner this season.The Wolves targeted this game and select others to cluster their group tickets in hopes of padding attendance. They also offered season ticket holders two free additional tickets to the game to try to get more fans, which have been slow to spend their money this season thanks to Minnesotas 3-7 start, out to the game.UP NEXT76ers: Head back home to host Phoenix on Saturday.Timberwolves: Hit the road after a four-game home stand to face Memphis for the third time already this season. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Wes-Hopkins-Jersey/ . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Legarrette-Blount-Jersey/ . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Ronald-Darby-Jersey/ . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. Darrion Caldwell is still a good bet to hold the Bellator MMA bantamweight championship some day -- but it wont be as soon as some thought.Widely considered one of the top prospects in the entire sport, Caldwell (9-1) suffered a stunning defeat to Joe Taimanglo?(23-6-1) on Friday. After dominating the first two rounds, Caldwell tapped to a Taimanglo guillotine just nine seconds into the third. The 135-pound fight headlined Bellator 159 at Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.A former NCAA Division I wrestling champion, Caldwell entered the bout as high as a 12-to-1 betting favorite. He had actually secured a Bellator title shot by defeating Joe Warren in March, but agreed to fight Taimanglo in the meantime. Current champion Eduardo Dantas will now receive a new challenger to defend his title against.Taimanglo, who has won four in a row, offered to take the spot.This feels amazing, Taimanglo said. I know I earned the No. 1 spot with a win over Darion.Caldwell, 28, did not look spectacular in the opening rounds -- but he certainly was in control. He took down Taimanglo with relative ease in each frame and more or less had his way on the floor.He made one tactical mistake in the firstt round, when he allowed Taimanglo to take his back after aggressively attempting a kimura. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Sidney-Jones-Jersey/. Caldwell escaped the bad position quickly, though, and clearly won the round. He made it 2-0 in the middle frame, once again taking down Taimanglo and spending the majority of the time in his opponents half guard.A poorly disguised shot did Caldwell in late, however, as Taimanglo easily sprawled on the double leg and went straight into the guillotine.
