Kyle Kuzma was moved into the starting lineup Monday night against the San Antonio Spurs and played by far the best game of his second season (even if said season is only three-games old). He and the Los Angeles Lakers miraculously forced overtime but wound up losing in hilariously painful fashion.
Still, he saw progress.
“I don’t like to use moral victories but it kind of bodes well,” Kuzma told reporters after the game. “The three teams we have played all played together for quite some time. We are a new team and to be in every single game, it sort of means something.
