PORTLAND, Ore. – Damian Lillard scored 30 points and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Philadelphia 76ers 118-114 on Thursday night.
Carmelo Anthony added 24 points off the bench, including 16 in the fourth quarter, to help Portland win for the fourth time in five games.
Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 35 points and nine rebounds, and Ben Simmons added 23 points and 11 boards. The loss snapped a four-game road winning streak.
The Eastern Conference-leading Sixers had won six of seven, with the only loss during that span coming a week ago to the Trail Blazers, 121-105. It was just the second loss at home for Philadelphia.
WARRIORS 111, MAGIC 105
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry made 10 3-pointers and had 40 points, eight rebounds and five assists, leading Golden State past undermanned Orlando.
Curry made four of his first seven 3s and finished 10 for 19 from deep — even having one taken away by a replay review after the third quarter. The two-time MVP has made at least four 3-pointers in a career-best 13 straight games.
Golden State attempted a franchise-record 30 3-pointers in the first half and went 20 of 50 from long range overall.
Orlando was already missing four key players, then lost guard Frank Mason III to a strained right groin early in the game. Nikola Vucevic had 25 points, 13 rebounds and five assists for the Magic.
CELTICS 120, RAPTORS 106
BOSTON (AP) — Semi Ojeleye had a career-high 24 points and six 3-pointers as Boston beat Toronto.
Rookie guard Payton Pritchard added 20 points and had a career-high six 3s to help the Celtics stop a two-game skid. Boston never trailed and led by 19, thanks in part to a season-high 20 3-pointers.
Kyle Lowry led the Raptors with 24 points and six assists. Pascal Siakam had 23 points.
HEAT 101, ROCKETS 94
HOUSTON (AP) — Jimmy Butler had a triple-double with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and Miami overcame a slow start to beat slumping Houston.
Miami won its fourth straight and handed Houston its fourth loss in a row.
John Wall and Eric Gordon led the Rockets with 17 points each.
PACERS 111, PISTONS 95
DETROIT (AP) — Domantas Sabonis had 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists and Indiana beat Detroit to end a four-game losing streak.
