Were it not for J.J. Redick, the Clippers likely would not have gotten the opportunity to go into overtime and win 105-103 at Detroit on Monday night.

Redick buried a 3-point basket with 19 seconds to play in regulation to tie the game 94-94. The Clippers (15-10) then outscored the Pistons 11-9 in the overtime period.

“It was a play for me to get a 3, or Blake (Griffin) to get a layup,” Redick said afterward. “As (Pistons center Andre) Drummond came over, I saw Blake look to the corner, and I wasn’t there yet. So he kind of trusted that I would get there and I got there in time. When I first caught the ball I wasn’t behind the 3-point line, so I had to make a little side-step dribble.’

Redick scored 24 points in support of Griffin’s 34.
