Wolves have the highest road 1Q +/- in the league at 2.5 whereas the 6ers have the 2nd worst home 1Q +/- at -4.0. Add to this the Wolves lead the league in 1Q PPG, they come out the gate firing and against the worst defensive team in the league they'll look to jump out quick. I think a lot of this 1Q success points to Pek/Love playing the entire quarter, later phases of the game they seemingly go a bit smaller and split these guys time on the floor until 4Q.
