Glad you’re back, J.J.
After struggling in the first 4 games due to Joe Ingles and company, J.J. finally started to look like himself again in game 5. Redick posted a series high 26 points on 7-12 shooting, and went 3-7 from three.
Normally being limited by Joe Ingles‘ lock down defense, J.J. found multiple ways to be effective in game 5. One thing that proved to be helpful was the fact that he got to the line. J.J. went 9-10 from the charity stripe, some of them coming down the stretch of the game in clutch time.
Additionally, J.J. was more aggressive on the defensive end, holding the larger Ingles to 0 points on 0-4 shooting.
