Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell scored 36 points (13-of-30 field goals, 5-of-6 free throws) with 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 3-pointers, and 7 turnovers in 42.7 minutes of a 148-139 triple-overtime win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Russell started a woeful 1-of-11 from the floor and struggled with turnovers, but he found his groove after the break and caught fire in the third overtime, scoring 14 points in that frame to help the Nets secure the victory. He's scored at least 23 points in four straight games, and over the last five, Russell is averaging 26.4 points, 4.4 boards, 8.8 dimes, 0.8 steals, and 3.2 triples per contest. The Nets host the Portland Trail Blazers on February 21 in their first game after the All-Star break.
