The Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers faced each other on Monday night in one of those matchups where each side could rightly claim, “Well, at least we’re not them.” Both teams were coming off good weeks, with the Sixers riding a three-game winning streak and Portland having won their last two. After every Lord of the Rings movie trilogy comes The Hobbit, though. The Blazers were in full Fili, Kili, Smaug cliffhanger mode tonight. Joel Embiid scored 37 while Kelly Oubre, Jr. added 15 and 8 steals as the 76ers gave two thumbs down to the Portland cast, 125-103.
