The first question after the Nets defeated the Golden State Warriors was not about the 41-point victory. It was about D’Angelo Russell.
“Honestly, it was a little weird,” Caris LeVert answered. “I’ve never played against him before. In my first year, I was injured with my foot, and, obviously, the second year he came here. So it was a little different, but it was good competing against him for sure.”
This was a heavy-hearted night for both Russell and Nets fans, who chanted “Thank You D’Lo!” almost every chance they got.
