Redick, Embiid lead the Sixers Past the Magic; Player Observations
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Orlando magic by a score of 116–115. It was a nail bitter as they just squeezed out a win thanks to J.J Redick’s go ahead three pointer late in the game. The magic were on fire last night shooting 16–29 from the three point line and they got off to a big lead early on.
Joel Embiid- He was on fire last night scoring 21 points in the first half and and finishing the game with 30 points and 10 rebounds. Embiid shot 13–26 from the field and was 3–5 for three pointers, which was a good improvement as early on his shooting from outside hasn't been too good. The big stat to look at is that he had zero turnovers, which is nice to see as he averaged a lot last year in 3.7 a game.
J.J Redick- Everything he shot last night was going in, as he was the Sixers go to scorer last night when Embiid wasn't in the game. J.J put up 31 points on 8–13 shooting for three pointers last night. The big question is will Brett Brown put Redick into the starting lineup to replace Markell Fultz? Below you can see the go ahead three point shot by Redick.
