Kyle Kuzma just needed a moment. After Danny Green fouled him, he lay on the ground, having played 43 minutes in the game, during a month in which he has averaged more than 38 minutes a game.
His teammates surrounded him to lift him off the court, but Kuzma held up one finger to ask them to wait. Exhausted, he took a few deep breaths before nodding his head and extending his arms toward them.
Then he got up off the ground and made one of two free throws to extend the Lakers' lead in overtime to eight.
