D’Angelo Russell had another postseason meltdown against the Nuggets tonight, finishing with 13 points, three rebounds and three assists on 6-20 shooting from the field and 1-9 from long-range.
Russell is now 3-24 (12.5 percent) from three over his last five playoff games against the Nuggets dating back to last season, and the Lakers are 0-5 in those games.
Here’s how the internet reacted to DLo’s brutal night:
Why in the hell did DLo just take that dumb ass shot!!! Like those old people say “Desperation seize the Sucka” don’t mind me tho and Carry on…

AD is cooking. Should probably keep giving him the ball.

This has been the fear with DLo in this matchup.
Can he hit shots in an environment this intense?
Can he stay focused off ball defensively? pic.twitter.com/vMPO6T3ASR

DLo's been the third best player tonight…
For the Nuggets.
