THE FACTS: Jrue Holiday scored 27 points and led five players in double figures as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 101-100 Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center. Thaddeus Young scored 19 points, Spencer Hawes had 18 points and 13 rebounds, Dorell Wright added 16 points and Damien Wilkins had 12. The Sixers improved to 26-40 and won their second game in a row.

LaMarcus Aldridge was terrific for the Trail Blazers with 32 points and 14 rebounds. Damian Lillard scored 27 points, their only other player in double figures. The Trail Blazers fell to 31-35 and had their two-game winning streak snapped.

QUOTABLE: "I think our energy is better. Our focus and attention to detail are much better." -- Hawes

THE STAT: The Sixers shot 50 percent from the field compared to 42 percent for the Trail Blazers. Philadelphia has outshot the opposition in each of the past four games.

TURNING POINT: The Sixers led 101-97 with 13.4 seconds remaining after a pair of free throws by Holiday. But Lillard responded with a 3-pointer and the Trail Blazers got the ball back after a costly Sixers turnover. On Portland's last possession, it went to Aldridge, who missed a short turnaround jumper.

HOT: Holiday was 11-for-21, Young was 9-for-15 and Hawes was 9-for-14. Lillard knocked down 10 of his 20 shots.

NOT: Wesley Matthews missed nine of his 12 shots for the Trail Blazers while Nicolas Batum was 3-for-9.
