It was all on display Wednesday night in Cleveland. The clutch performance, the star power, the potential. D’Angelo Russell scored 36 points, 14 in the third overtime, to lead Brooklyn’s Nets to their 30th win of the season. The last time they cracked 30 was March 25, 2015.
D’Angelo Russell is the point guard fantasy that Net fans had for Deron Williams come to life. After having it be the signature position for the Nets in the 2000’s then slowly falling down under the weight of disappointment and injury, point guard is once again where the Nets game begins.
