Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma wanted to get two things accomplished in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night.
One, he wanted to get some conditioning in for the stretch run for the playoffs for the Los Angeles Lakers. Two, he was trying to get that $25,000 bonus. Plus, that MVP trophy was nice to have too.
Kyle Kuzma is from Flint, Michigan and as a guy that has ties there, too, I know he was dead serious.
Kuzma came out the gate aggressive, scoring 14 points before everyone broke a sweat in the first four minutes of the game.
