Russell racked up 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 109-80 loss to the Timberwolves.
Russell was highly efficient from the floor and finished as the Lakers' leading scorer in a game where the entire offense sputtered. Don't be surprised if Russell stays in the starting five until Austin Reaves (pelvis) can return. Russell has surpassed the 15-point mark in four appearances in a row, averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting 55.3 percent from the floor in that stretch.
