Both the Philadephia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves have started the NBA season off on the right foot. The two teams each own a record of 3-0, picking up some early W’s against tough competition.
Philadelphia and Minnesota will put their two undefeated records on the line Wednesday night when the Timberwolves travel to the city of Brotherly Love.
Even though the 76ers are at the top of the Eastern Conference, they aren’t dominating in points scored per game and points scored against per game.
