Poor Brad Wanamaker never had a chance. Not with the assassin-like way in which D’Angelo Russell of the Brooklyn Nets was shooting in the second half Monday night.
With the shot clock winding down and the Nets up by six points in the third quarter, Russell had the ball well above the 3-point line, Wanamaker worked his way over an Ed Davis screen as Russell pulled up from about 26 feet away.
Nothing but net.
That was the big splash during a 15-0 run that turned a two-point game into a huge Brooklyn lead in the second half to push the Nets well on their way to a 109-102 win over the Boston Celtics at Barclays Center.
