Joel Embiid could only manage 11 points for Philadelphia, while Jimmy Butler scored 29 and JJ Redick had 19.

The Portland Trail Blazers also lost on their home court as a 116-112 victory for the Denver Nuggets saw the series tied up at 2-2.

The damage was done in the third quarter, where the Nuggets limited Portland to only 14 points as Denver took a 84-77 lead into the final frame.

Jamal Murray finished the game with 34 points, while Nikola Jokic added 21 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists for his fourth triple-double of the playoffs, while CJ McCollum top scored for Portland with 29.
