The Portland Trail Blazers (14-33) crushed the Philadelphia 76ers (29-16) 130-104, taking full advantage of the absence of NBA MVP Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
Jerami Grant led the charge with 27 points, supported by Malcolm Brogdon’s 24 points and rookie Scoot Henderson’s 22-point performance.
The Sixers struggled to find their rhythm, with Kelly Oubre Jr. contributing 25 points in a losing effort. Patrick Beverley added 14 points, while Paul Reed contributed 11.
Despite Tobias Harris’ return from a two-game absence due to the flu, the 76ers couldn’t sustain their early lead.
