In Monday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, Russell looked the part of the second-best point guard in the entire Eastern Conference. No, seriously.
Russell had himself a monster game, scoring 28 points along with 14 assists and 7 rebounds. He outplayed fellow All-Star point guard, Kyle Lowry. It was, by far and wide, Russell’s best performance of the season. It was also, perhaps, his best game to date.
So, what made this performance monumental? Was it his career-high 14 assists? Perhaps, it was the monster three-pointer in Danny Green’s face?
These highlights were impressive, there’s no denying that.
