D'Angelo Russell erupts for career-high 44 points in Nets' comeback
Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell scored 44 points (17-of-33 field goals, 4-of-6 free throws) with 4 rebounds, 12 assists, 4 steals, 6 3-pointers, and 5 turnovers in 38.2 minutes of a 123-121 comeback win over the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
The Nets trailed by 25 points entering the fourth quarter, but Russell single-handedly outscored the Kings 27-18 in the final frame to pull off one of the best comebacks in the NBA this season. Prior to this heroic performance, teams trailing by 25+ points through 3 quarters in the shot clock era were 3-3,028. Russell will pay a visit to his former employer on Friday when the Nets take on the Los Angeles Lakers.
