PORTLAND, Oregon (Ticker) -- The Portland Trail Blazers try to run their winning streak to 13 games Sunday when they host the Philadelphia 76ers.

Portland is on its longest winning streak since also reeling off 12 straight wins in 2000-01. The longest run in club history is 16 games set during the 1990-91 campaign.

Nine of the Blazers' wins during their streak have come at the Rose Garden where they are 14-3.

On Friday, Brandon Roy scored 22 points to lead the Blazers to a 109-98 triumph over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Blazers enter this contest trying to avenge a 92-88 loss at Philadelphia on November 16. In that contest, the Blazers squandered a 22-point second-quarter lead.

Samuel Dalembert scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the 76ers opened a season-high six-game road trip with a 92-80 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday.
