Modal Trigger

D'Angelo Russell, who scored 36 points, 24 in the overtime periods, drives on Collin Sexton during the Nets' 148-139 triple OT win Wednesday night in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND — All-Stars aren’t always great. Sometimes they’re just great when they have to be. That’s what D’Angelo Russell was Wednesday.
And with his Nets desperately looking to stanch the bleeding and go into the All-Star break with something — anything — to feel good about, Russell provided it. He took over in the third overtime and carried Brooklyn to a 148-139 win over the Cavaliers before 17,434 at Quicken Loans Arena.
