On Wednesday night, D’Angelo Russell had one of those “Am I reading that right?” stat lines.

The point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers scored 35 points on 13 of 17 field goals (5 of 7 from three), dished out nine assists, and—perhaps most surprisingly of all—had two blocks to help his team destroy the young Detroit Pistons 133-107.

LeBron James finished with 25 points and 8 rebounds, while Anthony Davis contributed 28 points, 16 boards, four assists, and three blocks. With 15 points and five assists, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham took the lead.

In addition, James received a technical foul for failing during the game, which may have served as a solace for his critics and provided a humorous scene considering his past interactions with Isaiah Stewart:However, this was the DLo Show, and although some viewers and commentators found amusement in quips about Russell only doing well against inferior teams, the majority of them gave him credit for a superb shooting and play-making display:

Russell’s terrible performance in the Western Conference Finals the previous season (6.3 PPG, 32.3 percent from the field, 13.3 percent from three) helped him gain his image as a hot and cold player.

However, he has performed admirably this year, which supports the Lakers’ choice to re-sign him this summer for a two-year deal worth $36 million (with a player option for the following season). Though some in Laker Land thought Austin Reaves was going to become the No. 3 player behind AD and James, he has been the team’s second-best playmaker (6.2 APG) and third-leading scorer (16.7 PPG) going into the game.

The Russell the Lakers (11-8) saw against the Denver Nuggets in May is not nearly as good as the one they will need in the postseason after what they saw on Wednesday night. But most teams will put up more of a fight than the 2-16 Pistons.
