Kyle Kuzma and the Los Angeles Lakers came all the way back against the Milwaukee Bucks, going on a 29-9 run to force overtime before ultimately losing the game.
On the Lakers’ final possession of overtime, Kuzma took an off-balance 3-pointer in delayed transition after head coach Luke Walton declined to call a timeout to draw up a play, something he acknowledged in hindsight was “probably” a bit preemptive
“But we came back from (down) 20. I just wanted to go for the win,” Kuzma said.
Still, he felt the experience of Walton not calling a timeout was a positive one because of the way letting the team play in those types of situations can help them down the road as they develop.
