ATLANTA — Here are my main takeaways and “best” and “worst” awards from the 76ers’ 121-113 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night at Philips Arena..
Five observations
- What did I tell you about JJ Redick’s becoming the leader of the Sixers? The veteran guard had another solid performance, scoring a game-high 28 points and hitting 6 of 9 three-pointers. The Sixers are going to have to depend heavily on Redick until Joel Embiid returns from a fractured orbital bone near his left eye.
- The Sixers looked like a squad focusing on Wednesday night’s regular-season finale against the Milwaukee Bucks instead of the Hawks.
