D'Angelo Russell looks every bit like a man on a mission early in Game 3 of the 2023 NBA Playoffs series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors Saturday night.
D'Angelo Russell scored all of the Lakers' first 11 points of the contest (and 13 of their first 17). That scorching start has Lakers and NBA fans on Twitter buzzing.

āFor the third time these playoffs, DāAngelo Russell has gone on a flurry where heās hit a bunch of shots in a row for LAL. He has 11 pts on 4-for-4 shooting to start this one and LAL is up 11-4,ā tweeted Dave McMenamin of ESPN.
Ben Stinar said: āItās almost like Iāve been telling yāall about DāAngelo Russell for the last 4 years .. šššš best is YET to come š¤š¤«ā
āDāAngelo Russell has thirteen points in 7 minutes. iām getting my hopes up for this game,ā Lakers fan @MOMNOKIDS chimed in.
DāAngelo Russell was coming off a letdown performance in the Lakers' loss in Game 2 in which he posted just 10 points on 5-for-12 shooting from the field in 28 minutes of action on the floor, so his hot start to Game 3 is very much welcome for a Los Angeles team looking to grab momentum back in the series. Anthony Davis was the first non-Russell player to score for the Lakers in Game 3.
And Russell isn't just making baskets, he's draining them in style.
