Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Leads team with 39 points

Russell notched 39 points (15-26 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal over 41 minutes during Saturday's 132-125 loss to the Jazz.

Russell was back in the starting lineup Saturday and turned in his best scoring total of the season. His six three-pointers matched a season high, and a season-high 26 shot attempts were key to his voluminous total. LeBron James'(ankle) absence was the likely reason for the increased volume, but Russell's return to the starting five should help his production moving forward.
