Philadelphia 76ers at Minnesota Timberwolves
· National Basketball AssociationReid scores 23 as Wolves pull away in fourth to beat 76ers 126-112

Julius Randle had 16 points for Minnesota in his second game back after missing 13 games with a groin strain. Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 20 points off the bench. The Timberwolves used a 25-9 run at the start of the fourth to take control.
Paul George returned after missing one game with groin soreness, but Philadelphia was without guard Tyrese Maxey (lower back strain) and played its third game since announcing Joel Embiid will miss the rest of the season for left knee injury management. George finished with just seven points on 3-of-11 shooting.
Quentin Grimes led the 76ers with 30 points, and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 24 for Philadelphia, which has lost 13 of 15 and was playing the second game of a back-to-back after losing 119-102 at home to Portland a night earlier.
Timberwolves: Not a pretty effort against a ravaged team, but Minnesota just needs wins. It started the day tied with the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento for seventh in the West.
Timberwolves: at Charlotte on Wednesday.
