Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey posted double-doubles, Tobias Harris chipped in 24 points and the Philadelphia 76ers won for the second time in as many days, thumping the visiting Portland Trail Blazers 126-98 on Sunday night.

Embiid complemented game highs in points (35) and rebounds (15) with seven assists, six blocks and two steals for the 76ers, who were coming off a tough 114-107 win at Toronto.

Maxey had four 3-pointers among his 26 points to go with 10 rebounds, while Embiid and Harris each added a pair of threes on a night where the 76ers shot 39.3 percent (11-for-28) from beyond the arc and 48.8 percent overall.

Shaedon Sharpe had 20 points and Malcolm Brogdon supplied 18 to pace the Trail Blazers, who were opening a four-day, three-game trip.

The 76ers trailed only briefly in the early going but were up just 66-60 at halftime before breaking the game open in the third period. De'Anthony Melton, Embiid and Maxey contributed 3-pointers to a quarter-opening, 11-4 burst that put the Trail Blazers in a double-digit hole the rest of the night.

Philadelphia's biggest lead (31 points) came in the game's final minute.

One of the 76ers' biggest advantages came at the free-throw line, where they outscored the visitors 35-19, getting 18 more attempts (40-22). Maxey (10-for-10), Kelly Oubre Jr. (6-for-6) and Melton (3-for-3) combined to make all 19 of their foul shots.

Melton finished with 12 points and a team-high eight assists, while Oubre added 12 points and a pair of steals off the bench.

The Trail Blazers' reserves nearly scored as many points as their starting five, with Toumani Camara and Jabari Walker scoring 12 apiece to join fellow reserve Brogdon in double figures. Portland's reserves combined for 48 of the team's 98 points.

Jerami Grant had 17 points as a Portland starter, while Deandre Ayton was the team's top rebounder with nine boards to go with seven points.

The Trail Blazers shot just 38.3 percent overall and 22.6 percent (7-for-31) on threes.
