Here is what you need to know before the Lakers’ last game before the all-star break, against the Atlanta Hawks.
1) Kuz and Bron are coming off hot performances.
Kyle Kuzma took his game to a seldom-seen level on Sunday, piling up 23 points in the first quarter alone. And the sophomore kept pouring it on, finishing with 39 points on 14-of-21 shooting.
Kuzma’s jumper was true all night long, as he hit five 3-pointers and a few from mid-range. But he also added some finishes at the rim, including three off Eurosteps.
