Team Effort, 'Vintage Melo' Secures Series Sweep Versus 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers entered Thursday night’s game versus the Trail Blazers at the Moda Center with a 13-0 in games in which they took a lead going into the fourth quarter.

They’re now 13-1 in those situations.

Thanks to a total team effort, punctuated by Carmelo Anthony’s shooting, the Trail Blazers outscored the 76ers by eight points in the fourth quarter to earn a 118-114 victory Thursday night at the Moda Center.

“We played nine guys and every one of them made a substantial contribution to the game,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. “It’s one of those games, from a coaching standpoint, it’s easy to point go every guy on the floor, every guy who played and what they were able to contribute.
