LaMarcus Aldridge added 23 points for the Trail Blazers, who played the second half without two-time All-Star guard Brandon Roy, who left with a strained right hamstring.
Sixers center Samuel Dalembert arrived at the Wachovia Center at 6:57 p.m. and started. He had been on a two-day, goodwill mission to his native Haiti, which is recovering from a devastating earthquake. He had 15 rebounds and 10 points.
Averaging 23.4 points, Roy left after scoring 10. He grabbed his right thigh after banking in a 10-footer with 1:02 left in the second quarter and is listed as day-to-day.
The Blazers overcame his loss thanks in part to Miller, who signed with Portland in the offseason.
Portland led 90-83 with 3:12 to go, but the Sixers scored six straight points, and an steal and layup by Andre Iguodala cut it to 90-88 with 1:38 to go. Iguodala led the Sixers with 23 points. Miller then made two free throws, and after Elton Brand hit an 8-footer with 59 seconds left, Bayless and Aldridge each made two free three throws to clinch the victory.
NOTES: Dalembert's humanitarian visit is in association with Project Medishare ww.projectmedishare.org. ... The Trail Blazers are 19-8 in Miller's starts.
