After losing in New York and dropping to 0-13, the 76ers returned home to take on the streaking Trail Blazers who came in with a 10-3 record. It was a matchup of Portland's top 5 defense vs. Philly's league worst offense in terms of points scored, but the Sixers played much better than expected. However, they would still end up losing their 14th straight game. Final score: 114-104. 
The game was tightly contested throughout the first half, and despite being behind at the end of the 1st quarter, free throws from MCW in the final seconds would give Philly a 2 point lead at the half. However, the game was decided in the 3rd quarter, with LaMarcus Aldridge scoring 15 of his 33 points in the period as Portland outscored Philly 39-28. The Trail Blazers  The 76ers would lose their 7th home game of the early season, and their 14th overall. They are now one loss away from tying their franchise-worst start of 0-15 and are 4 losses away from tying the NBA worst 0-18 start.

The Trail Blazers came in as the best rebounding team in the league and it showed. Portland dominated the glass, out-rebounding the Sixers 52-29 with 18 offensive rebounds leading to second chances. Aldridge led the way with 11 boards, while Carter-Williams (a point guard) led Philly with 7. It was the defining aspect of the game, as other than not hitting a single 3-pointer all game (0-8), the Sixers played well otherwise.

Brett Brown's team limited themselves to 10 turnover and shot 50% from the floor for the game. The Sixers even shot well from the line for once, connecting on 20 of 24 attempts. Philly outscored Portland 70-46 in the paint but it wasn't enough to pick up their first win. 

Carter-Williams scored 24 points and had 2 steals while Wroten added 20 points, 9 dimes, and 3 steals. Coming off the best game of his career against the Knicks (17 points 12 rebounds), Nerlens Noel played well with 12 points (6-7 FG), 5 boards, 3 steals, and 2 rejections. Henry Sims added an efficient 22 points but was bullied on the glass, collecting only 4 rebounds at the center position.

The Sixers host the Nets (5-8) on Wednesday, hoping to avoid matching their franchise-worst start.
