D’Angelo Russell reveals what made him a ‘killer’ on the court

In a significant victory against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Los Angeles Lakers secured a notable win even in the absence of LeBron James.

D’Angelo Russell played a crucial role in securing the victory, contributing an impressive 44 points. Particularly noteworthy was his performance in the fourth quarter, where he scored 21 points, including the game-winning shot with 5.9 seconds remaining.

Post-game, Russell expressed his comfort with handling pressure situations, stating that his past experiences have instilled confidence in his ability to deliver when it matters most. The Lakers guard welcomed the challenges and emphasized his belief in his clutch abilities.

“On the floor, I’ve always felt like I was capable of doing things, [and] getting hot makes it a little more exciting,” Russell said. “Off the floor, obviously you all know what I’ve been through. Public humiliation has done nothing but mold me into the killer that you all see today.

“I never lack confidence. I never fear confrontation. I want all the smoke. … I just feel confident in what I bring to the basketball game, so whatever room I walk in, I’m confident.”
