The Philadelphia 76ers took care of business on Thursday, invading the Moda Center to pick up a 105-95 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. The Sixers are 4-0 on this road trip and look to sweep the trip on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings.
The Sixers won Thursday thanks to their defensive effort and another dominant performance by Joel Embiid. The big fella had 32 points on 12-for-22 shooting with nine rebounds and three blocks. The Blazers had no real answer for Embiid, and the Sixers benefited.
James Harden added 16 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds. Tyrese Maxey had 15 off the bench, and Tobias Harris added 11 and seven boards. Shake Milton added 10 and Georges Niang had nine off the bench as Philadelphia received production from up and down the roster.
