Daron Russell carried Romania to an 89–78 road victory over Denmark in Group D of the EuroBasket Pre-Qualifiers, dropping 34 points on 8–17 shooting with an immaculate 13–13 at the line. The guard added 6 assists and 2 steals across 30 minutes, though 5 turnovers tempered an otherwise authoritative display. Russell's 5–10 three-point night provided the perimeter punch Romania needed to pull clear in the second half. His free-throw shooting—a near-flawless capstone—proved decisive with Denmark pressing late. The 11-point margin understates how thoroughly he controlled the tempo and shot selection down the stretch. Denmark kept pace through stretches but never built the defensive pressure required to disrupt Russell's rhythm. The gap between his efficiency inside the arc (7–7 FT) and willingness to attack from range (5–10 3PT) left Denmark's defense in difficult rotations all evening.
