Portland Trail Blazers break record in win over Philadelphia 76ers

The Portland Trail Blazers broke a franchise record during their 139-105 demolition of the Philadelphia 76ers in yesterday's NBA encounter.

The visitors set a new record of the most three-pointers scored in a game, having amassed 21 against the previous record of 17.

The Blazers mainly had the in-form LaMarcus Aldridge to thank as he scored 20 points and 16 rebounds, while other telling contributions came from Damian Lillard, Dorell Wright, Nicolas Batum, Wesley Matthews, Mo Williams, Robin Lopez and Thomas Robinson, leaving their number of double-point scorers at eight.

The 76ers' sixth loss in a row sees them slump to 7-18 for the season.
