struggled for the third consecutive game, scoring three points on 1-for-8 shooting and remaining a glaring defensive target for Denver’s offense. Through three games, Russell has 21 points on 8-for-27 shooting for the series. That’s nowhere close to enough offensive production from a player making over $30 million.
The starting group of Davis, James, Vanderbilt, Reaves and Russell isn’t working. Denver isn’t guarding Vanderbilt, and they’re successfully targeting Russell defensively. The Lakers were minus-7 in the 12 minutes the group played in Game 3 — a deficit that put Los Angeles behind early in both halves.
