PHILADELPHIA - No dubious record for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. Michael Carter-Williams saw to that.Carter-Williams had a triple-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to lead Philadelphia to a 103-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night in a matchup of two of the leagues bottom dwellers.Philadelphia improved to 10-37, assuring the 76ers that they wouldnt match the 1972-73 team that set the NBA mark for worst record at 9-73.Luc Mbah a Moute had a team-high 18 points, and Nerlens Noel and Robert Covington chipped in 14 apiece for the 76ers, who won consecutive games for the third time this season while snapping a streak of 23 straight games without reaching 100 points.I think Ive relaxed a little bit, said Carter-Williams, who tied Rajon Rondo for the league lead with his third triple-double this season. When we start getting into a little bit of trouble or the other team starts going on a little bit of a run, Im keeping my composure a little bit more. Im not trying to do it all myself and I kind of let things happen rather than trying to force it a little bit.The Sixers started the season 0-17, earning their first win of the season against the Timberwolves on Dec. 3.I just feel like (Carter-Williams) is playing so much more at peace within himself, and I think the group is doing the same, Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said. And, collectively, it produces some decent performances.Kevin Martin had 19 points in his second game back after missing 34 due to a fractured right wrist to lead the Timberwolves, who were trying to win consecutive games for the first time this season.We didnt play with enough of a sense of urgency, Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders said. Thats whats disappointing.Philadelphia used a 10-1 run to start the fourth quarter, capped by Covingtons 3-pointer from the right baseline with 8 minutes, 20 seconds remaining, to take its largest lead, 88-78.Minnesota committed five of its 21 turnovers during the pivotal stretch.The Timberwolves responded with seven straight points, five of which came from Andrew Wiggins, to pull within 88-85 on Martins 17-footer with 6:45 left. But Minnesota wouldnt get closer the rest of the way in a forgettable fourth quarter in which they shot 7-for-21 while committing nine turnovers.Brown addressed Philadelphias defence at halftime after giving up 59 points in the opening half.We need to turn this into a fistfight, Brown said. We need to make this physical. We need to block some shots. We need to get in lanes and get some steals.The loss got the Timberwolves closer to the greatest chance of winning the NBA lottery for the right to pick first in the draft, dropping to a league-worst 8-38.Nobody wants to be last, Minnesotas Nikola Pekovic said. Everybody wants to win games. I think thats why you play sports because you want to win. You can work in an office and have a regular job and go finish your paperwork and go home. You dont have to win anything. We like to compete. Were born competitors. I still believe in this team and have lots of pride to show.LOVES RETURNMinnesota returns home Saturday night to host Kevin Love and the Cavaliers.

After earning only two wins with the Arizona Diamondbacks this season, McCarthy consulted video and worked with pitching coach Charles Nagy. The result was one of his best outings of the season. McCarthy turned in seven strong innings, and Paul Goldschmidt drove in two runs to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 6-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Monday night. After a shaky first inning, the 6-foot-7 McCarthy (3-8) allowed only four runners over his final six innings. It was his first win since he beat San Diego on May 28. His other victory was a shutout at Miami on May 18. "I felt I carried my weight, and nice to see a positive result," McCarthy said. "I never felt that strong this season and went back to watch video from before I went on the disabled list last season. I saw some mechanical issues, made a few adjustments, and am satisfied with the results." McCarthy lasted only into the third inning in his previous start, a 10-7 loss to the Reds. He allowed seven runs and eight hits in 2 1-3 innings. Goldschmidt stretched his NL-leading RBI total to 103 with his first triple of the season and a ground out. He has the most RBIs for an Arizona hitter since Luis Gonzalez drove in 104 in 2003. After Will Venable and Alexi Amarista opened the game with singles, Yonder Alonso hit a grounder wide of first. Goldschmidt fielded the ball and threw to second to force Amarista, but shortstop Didi Gregorius throw to first was wide and beyond McCarthy, who was covering the bag. Venable scored the unearned run. But that was all the Padres would get against McCarthy and Eury De La Rosa, who pitched a perfect final two innings. "The story was we couldnt get any runs," Padres manager BBud Black said.dddddddddddd "I thought (starter Tyson Ross) was fine." Between the first inning and when he left the game, McCarthy allowed a one-out single in the third to Venable, a two-out single in the fourth to Chase Headley and a two-out single to Ross (3-7) in the fifth. He hit Jedd Gyroko with a pitch with two out in the sixth. "I didnt think I threw all that bad in the first inning," McCarthy said. "I just followed (catcher) Miguel Monteros lead and didnt shake him off one time." Though his pitch count was 58 through four innings, McCarthy was more efficient in the later innings. He threw 93 pitches in seven innings. Adam Eaton was hit by a pitch to open the fourth, and Goldschmidt hit a twisting drive into the right field corner that hit off the fence. Martin Prado then followed with a sacrifice fly to give Arizona a 2-1 lead. Prados grounder to third with the bases loaded in the sixth was booted by Headley. Two more runs scored to make it 4-1. Prado has hit in 11 of his last 12 games for a .361 average, and has driven in 19 runs in that stretch. "Im taking advantage of the situation," he said. "I had a difficult course over the first few months and its good to get going this way." In the seventh, Goldschmidt grounded into a force play with the bases loaded, scoring Aaron Hill.
