On January 10, Beijing time, the Wizards narrowly won the Magic 102-100 on the road, and the Lakers abandoned Kyle Kuzma to get 27+22 data, becoming the key to the Wizards' reversal of opponents, and one of his data also became the first person in the history of the Wizards in nearly 24 years!
In this game, Kuzma played 38 minutes, hit 10 of 19 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of six free throws, and had 27 points, 22 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, and his performance was that the Wizards were able to reverse the key to victory when the star Bradley Beale only shot 31.8% from the field and Magic bench player Terrence Rose scored a game-high 32 points with a 65.0% shooting percentage.
Before Kuzma, the last time a Wizards had scored 25+ points and 20+ rebounds in the regular season was as distant as April 14, 1997, when Chris Webb had 27 points, 21 rebounds, seven assists, four steals, and two blocks in 44 minutes of playing time in the Wizards' win over Philadelphia. In other words, Kuzma became the first Wizards player in nearly 24 years to win 25+20 in a single game! It is worth mentioning that since the 1983-84 NBA official statistics have been complete, only 9 people in the history of the Wizards have obtained such data in a single game.
So far this season, Kuzma has been able to get 15.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in the 38 regular season games for the Wizards, and is the Wizards' rebounding king and number two scorer, 15 times to get a double-double data in the Wizards far ahead, his performance is the wizards after the loss of Wei Shao to play more than expected results.
As the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft No. 27 show, Kuzma's NBA career began with the Lakers, he played for the Lakers for 4 seasons, he was once the lakers' oldest player, and he was once one of the only two players with a guaranteed contract with LeBron James, which was loved by the Lakers owners, but the Lakers' poor record last season made the management exhaust the patience of Kuzma. However, this season, Kuzma has created a number of highest records for rebounds and assists per game in a single season in the Wizards.
