J.J. Redick witnessed his teammates receiving praise and acknowledgment for the offensive performances prior to Friday night's game against the Indiana Pacers. When Brett Brown sought a scoring option, with Joel Embiid struggling and the Sixers watching Indiana possibly pull out a victory, the team's premier free agent signee emphatically answered the call.
Redick helped orchestrate the Sixers' 65-point second half scoring performance to foil a Pacers team who kept within reach throughout. With Domantas Sabonis tying the game at 110 on a two-point jumper with 2:22 to go, Redick took it upon himself to carry the scoring responsibilities while tapping into his role as a capable shooter who's relatively unaffected by contests.
