CLEVELAND – D’Angelo Russell couldn’t seem to get much of anything going offensively.
Playing on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers in his final game with the Brooklyn Nets before heading to Charlotte to take part in his first NBA All-Star game, the former Ohio State guard opened Wednesday’s game by making 1-of-11 shots with six turnovers. He wasn't even on the court for the Nets' final possession of regulation.
But with the game heading to overtime, Russell began to heat up. He scored seven points in the five-minute period, including a pair of go-ahead free throws after drawing a foul with 16 seconds remaining.
