Kyle Kuzma lit up his hometown Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, dropping 41 points on a mere 24 field goal attempts. He did this the game after going 4-20 in a Monday night in Dallas. Luke Walton was asked after the game about Kuzma’s effort, and said it wasn’t a coincidence.
Despite an ailing back, Kuzma had been right back in the gym on an off day.
“It speaks to his confidence and how much he believes in himself, but what a lot of people don’t know is that even though yesterday was an off day, he was in the gym getting up 500 shots,” Walton told reporters after the blowout victory.
