D’Angelo Russell faced his former team, the Warriors, as the Lakers earned a rather comfortable win (124-111).
After the game Golden State’s head coach Steve Kerr talked about how the 27-year-old point guard fits with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

“(He’s) a great fit because D’Lo can really shoot and pass, and those guys give him a lot of support both defensively and also in terms of letting him get off the ball,” Kerr said, via Lakers beat reporter Michael Corvo of ClutchPoints. “LeBron will have the ball in his hands a lot, so D’Lo can be a spot-up shooter or play pick-and-roll. It’s already shown that it’s a good fit for him. He’s played really well.”
It was his fourth game with the Lakers for Russell since getting traded to Los Angeles by the Timberwolves. He is averaging 13 points per game for the Purple and Gold.
