Interesting: Since January 22nd, Philadelphia is 19-8 (10-4 at home, 9-4 on the road), with an average scoring margin of 5.8 ppg, against opponents averaging a .467 winning percentage. Since January 15th, Portland is 19-9 (11-5 at home, 8-4 on the road), with an average scoring margin of 3.1 ppg, against opponents averaging a .464 winning percentage. We may be more evenly matched here than some think.
