If this were a baseball game, DeMarre Carroll would be credited with a save. But it was D’Angelo Russell who got the win for the Brooklyn Nets at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, scoring 14 points in the third overtime to lift the Nets to a 148-139 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Carroll hit a step-back 3 as time expired in the second overtime period to keep the Nets (30-29) alive and Russell took over from there, scoring Brooklyn’s first 11 points in the final overtime session to finally put away the stubborn Cavaliers (12-46).
