The Los Angeles Lakers fell short on the road to the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday night, but it wasn’t for lack of effort.
The team battled all night, making the defending Eastern Conference Champions earn a hard-fought victory. One of the Lakers’ best players on this night was rookie Kyle Kuzma.
The Lakers’ leading scorer heading into the game, Kuzma finished with 20 points and seven rebounds on the night, once again showing off his impressive array of moves.
Despite being matched up with physical forwards like LeBron James, Kevin Love, and Jae Crowder all night, Kuzma never backed down.
