SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Brooklyn coach Kenny Atkinson tried just about everything to kick the Nets into gear. After scoring 17 points in the first half and going without a point in the third quarter, Russell shot 10 of 15 in the fourth quarter, repeatedly burning Sacramento’s defence with quick drives to the basket. Russell also had four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, breaking Allen Crabbe’s single-season record of 201, set last season. The Nets were also struggling to hold onto seventh place in the East before Russell led the comeback. It worked briefly, until the Kings scored 20 straight to open the third quarter.
