In stepped Joel Freeland, who scored six points and pulled down a career-high 17 rebounds in Portlands fifth straight win at home. He came in and he played comfortable, Lillard said of Freeland. He rebounded really well. We knew we were short-handed. We knew that it was going to be a different type of game. I thought we went out there and did what we needed to do. Tony Wroten scored 22 points for the Sixers, who had a season-high two-game winning streak snapped. Michael Carter-Williams added 17 points with six rebounds and five assists. When you give up what we did from (3-point range) coupled with what we shot from the line... that team can score. That team can score, said Sixers coach Brett Brown.

The Sixers trimmed the deficit to one following a Wroten 3-pointer, then Matthews netted a jumper to give the hosts a 27-24 lead after 12 minutes. C.J. McCollums 3-pointer started a 14-4 run midway through the second quarter that gave the Blazers a 52-37 lead. Philadelphia used a 12-2 run later in the frame to close the gap to six, but Lillards free throw and Dorell Wrights three stretched the margin to 61-51 at the half. Matthews hit back-to-back treys as part of an 8-0 burst following a Carter- Williams free throw as Portland made it a 69-52 game early in the third. The Blazers led 88-74 entering the fourth and led by as many as 23 in the final period. Game Notes The Trail Blazers set a franchise record with at least 15 3-pointers made in back-to-back games ...
