Kyle Kuzma Racks Up 40 Points Against The Knicks
2 years agoWashington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma went full Kevin Durant against the Knicks on Friday, scoring a game-high 40 points in a 112-108 loss. He had the same amount of points he had combined with his two previous appearances and just one more make from the field would've given Kuzma his new scoring record. He finished with 14-for-27 shooting and had a 4-for-10 record from deep with seven rebounds, seven assists and one block. Kuzma averages 21.7 points for the season, so he doesn't reach the 30-point mark too often in games, let alone 40. However, he was feeling it Friday night and the Knicks had no answers to him. Kuzma will get a rematch with New York next week, but the Wizards have to deal with the Warriors first, which looks like another promising matchup for Kuzma, with Golden State ranked only 21st in defensive efficiency.
