Sixers Close Out Preseason with Loss to T'wolves

10/24/2013

The preseason went just about exactly as we all expected it to. The Sixers went 2-5 overall and finished out preseason action with a loss at home to the Timberwolves by a score of 125-102. Luckily, the Sixers look to be in mid-season form already for what they plan to do this year, lose, a lot!
The Sixers kept things close to start, finishing the first quarter trailing only 30-26 before the T'wolves took control in the second. Outscoring Philadelphia 34-24 in the second quarter, Minnesota entered the locker room with a 14 point lead thanks to strong play from Kevin Love.

The second half went pretty much the same, as the T'wolves outscored the Sixers in the third and fourth quarter and won 125-102 to move to 4-2 in preseason action.

Minnesota was led by a strong effort from Kevin Love, who appears to be ready to reclaim his spot as the top power forward in the game after missing much of last season. Love dropped 19 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in just 16 minutes of play, which was complimented by 22 points from point guard J.J. Barea in 17 minutes of action.

The Sixers were led in their losing effort by James Anderson, who scored 23 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Evan Turner added a double-double, scoring 11 and collecting 10 rebounds, and rookie Michael Carter-Williams impressed with 15 points, 9 rebounds and 5 steals in the game.

The Sixers now will cut down their roster as they prepare to open the season on October 30 at home against the Miami Heat. Buckle up folks, it's probably going to be a long season.
