We knew what we had.Russell hit seven 3-pointers and had eight rebounds for the Lakers, who didnt win seven games until New Years Day last season, the worst in the 16-time NBA champion franchises history.Russell had the highest-scoring individual performance by any player this season for the Lakers, whose 10-deep player rotations and balanced production have made them particularly tough to play.

Bojan Bogdanovic scored 29 points as Brooklyn rebounded solidly from a 32-point thrashing delivered by the Clippers in the same building one night earlier while Lopez sat out to rest.We bounced back from last nights tough loss, Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said.

That made it tough for us. We still had great looks. I want our guys to take those shots. They just didnt go down.BENCH BATTLEThe NBAs two most productive benches had big games.
