Iguodala, Sixers cruise past T-Wolves 119-97

(AP) — Andre Iguodala scored 24 points, Elton Brand added 21, and Philadelphia's reserves performed well to help the 76ers to a 119-97 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.

The 76ers were once again missing guard Allen Iverson, who has been out the past four games to tend to his ill daughter. The reserves came through for Philadelphia as Lou Williams (16 points), Thaddeus Young (15), Royal Ivey (9) and Jason Smith (9) helped the team win its fifth straight.

The game was played before a sparse crowd who braved the area's second major snowstorm in less than a week. A strong contingent came to see Minnesota's Wayne Ellington, who grew up in a Philadelphia suburb.
