Perhaps head coach JJ Redick’s pregame speech should be spent convincing the team that every game is actually the second night of a back-to-back. Bizarrely, the team’s last two wins came the night after blowout defeats. And each time, they looked great in those contests, responding with their own blowout wins. And the opponent both […]
