Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points and the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a four-game skid with a 135-108 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday in Minneapolis.

VJ Edgecombe added 24 points, Quentin Grimes had 19 and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 18.

The Sixers shot 21 of 37 from 3-point range, led by that quartet of Edgecombe (6 of 7), Grimes (5 of 8), Maxey (4 of 7) and Oubre (3 of 7).

Anthony Edwards posted 28 points for the Timberwolves, whose three-game winning streak came to an end.

Jaden McDaniels chipped in with 19 points, and Julius Randle scored 18 for the hosts, who were outscored in every quarter.

Edwards opened Minnesota’s scoring with a dunk following a steal off Maxey, and his first 3-pointer gave the Wolves an 8-1 jumpstart.

Philadelphia crept in front before closing the quarter on a 10-2 burst to lead 35-26.

Led by Edgecombe, the Sixers went 7 of 13 from deep for the quarter, taking advantage of some lax perimeter defense from Minnesota.

Philadelphia’s buffer grew to 48-32 on Cameron Payne’s steal and trey, before the Timberwolves closed to 68-58 at halftime.

Opposition linchpins Maxey and Edwards both had 19 points at the half.

The 76ers’ lead was down to 71-64 early in the third before Maxey took over.

He had 13 points for the quarter, which Philadelphia controlled 26-20 to move ahead 94-78 with one to play.

At the other end, Edwards was held to four points for the period, during which Minnesota misfired at 5 of 18 from the floor and 1 of 10 from deep, while also coughing up six turnovers.

A spectacular Grimes-to-Edgecombe alley-oop dunk kickstarted the fourth frame, and was followed by a pair of contested 3-pointers from the pair as the Sixers’ cushion swelled to 102-80.

A 10-2 Timberwolves run trimmed the gap to 104-90 before the 76ers called for time and surged again.

Maxey hit a floater, then picked Edwards’ pocket in the backcourt for an easy layup

The Sixers, who led by as many as 29 points, stayed hot down the stretch, hitting 7 of 9 from downtown in the fourth as the margin continued to spiral.
