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.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.

Theres been plenty of change at club level for the Socceroos but coach Ange Postecoglou will be keen to maintain their winning ways as they resume their World Cup qualifying effort.With the A-League in hiatus, Postecoglou is likely to turn to his overseas-based stars, and therefore many of his most experienced heads, when he announces his squad on Wednesday for two matches next month.Australia face Iraq in Perth on September 1 and United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi five days later in the next phase of the road to Russia 2018.But many will be jumping on planes to Western Australia from unfamiliar settings as they adjust to new homes.Tim Cahill leads the changes, having left Chinese football for A-League club Melbourne City.While much has been made of the 36-year-olds fitness on his arrival in Melbourne, hes actually played club football more recently than other A-League players, having turned out for previous club Hangzhou Greentown last month.It could be slim pickings for other A-League stars, given the lack of competitive football since the end of the league last May.Locally-based Socceroos Alex Wilkinson - now of Sydney FC - and James Troisi - at Melbourne Victory after ending a Chinese sstint - havent started a match in months and could miss out as a result.ddddddddddddJamie Maclaren, Matt McKay, Jason Geria and Josh Ridson will also be disavantaged by a lack of local football.But other Socceroos with new club homes will return.Aaron Mooy, having left Melbourne City for English club Huddersfield, via a loan from Manchester City, and left-back Brad Smith, now of Bournemouth after leaving English Premier League rival Liverpool, will come in.Even captain Mile Jedinak could make an unfamiliar commute, heavily linked with a move away from Crystal Palace after being stripped of the clubs captaincy.Second-tier Aston Villa is a mooted destination for the 32-year-old midfielder.The Iraq and UAE matches begin the third stage of Asias qualifying route to the 2018 World Cup.While all of Australias preivous qualifying opponents have sat outside the FIFAs top 100-ranked sides, the next series of home and away matches will be tougher.Iraq and UAE were semi-finalists at last years Asian Cup, while Japan, Saudi Arabia and Thailand complete the Socceroos group.
