The Los Angeles Lakers are the 2017 NBA Summer League champions, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 110-98 in a tightly contested finals. The Lakers were without summer league most valuable player Lonzo Ball, but Kyle Kuzma played like the finals MVP.
Kuzma was unbelievable in the last game of summer league, continuing to shred the net from beyond the arc and around the rim. Defensively he did everything for the Lakers, fighting bigs in the post, switching onto guards and hustling every possession.
Kyle’s big moment was a buzzer-beating three-pointer to close the third quarter that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
