Since starting power forward Wilson Chandler was out after getting kneed in the thigh by the Wizards, Mike Muscala was introduced to the starting lineup. The Sixers shot almost 50% from the floor and also restricted their opposition to under-100 points in the game.

Redick got off to a slow start, but that didn't last long, as he shot 4-5 from the field in the 2nd period itself and subsequently, hitting all four FGs in the third quarter as well. Butler took over from that point and dropped 13 of his 21 in the last quarter.
