Joel Embiid scored 37 points and Tyrese Maxey added another 23 as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 125-103 Monday night.

Guerschon Yabusele had a posterizing dunk over Portland's Deni Avdija during the Sixers' 31-point second quarter. The Sixers have now won four straight and 10 of their last 13 games.

The Blazers, who defeated the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night after winning Thursday night over the Utah Jazz, have won three consecutive games just once this season. In fact, they accomplished that feat only once during the 2023-24 season, with a run that ended on Nov. 3, 2023.
