The Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Portland Trail Blazers 130-115 at home on Saturday.
Playing without All-Star center Joel Embiid, 76ers failed to cope with the on-fire Trail Blazers, whose five starters all reached double figures in scoring in the one-sided game.
Jusuf Nurkic scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the visting team while All Star guard Damian Lillard had 17 points. New signing Enes Kanter had 16 points and eight rebounds.
Guard Ben Simmons had 29 points and 10 assists for the 76ers and Tobias Harris added 20.
The Trail Blazers now collected a 36-23 record and won three games in a row.
For the 76ers, they might still be struggling in the coming games with Embiid expected to miss at least one week due to a sore left knee.
