A few months back, D'Angelo Russell scored a career-high 39 points and hit a dagger of a three-pointer as the Lakers took down the nets. Saturday night, while squaring off against the 76ers in the Las Vegas Summer League, the former Buckeye nailed the game-winning three as time expired.

Russell finished the game with 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. Included in those 22 points was a nifty slam early on in the game.
