Blazers hold off 76ers, 110-101.

By HD.

Gerald Wallace was "on" tonight.

Gerald Wallace of the Portland Trail Blazers had a wonderful game. He had 25 points, 8 AST., 6 Rebounds, and 4 steals helping the Blazers defeat the Phildelphia 76ers, 110-101.

The Blazers played awesome tonight, shooting 51 % and had 4 players in double figures.

Wallace had 25 points, Nicolas Batum had 16, LaMarcus Aldridge had 18, and Wesley Matthews was the games leading scorer with 28.

The Blazers led 36-27 after 1, and was high scoring from there as Wesley Matthews finished with 20 points at the half, but only had 8 in the 2nd half.

At 5:50, Jodie Meeks from the sixers took it to the rack and scored, making it only a 2 point game. But, the Blazers would not let up. Andre Miller had a lay-up then Nicolas Batum drained a 3 putting the 76ers in desperation time and the Blazers led by 7.

The Trail Blazers only had 4 point lead after 3 but pulled away in the 4th, going up 99-89 with a LaMarcus Aldridge jumper.

The Blazers get a big win and get their 40th win of the season and are in 6th in the West. And just a 1/2 a game out of the Denver Nuggets.

The 76ers will go to 7th in the East and 36-34. Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday to Andre Miller!!
