“Kyle Kuzma has been playing some Most Improved Player type basketball”: Kendrick Perkins lauds the Wizards forward for his 29-point outburst vs OKC

Kyle Kuzma was absolutely sensational in the Wizards 122-118 win over the Thunder, dropping 29 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Ever since his departure from the Los Angeles Lakers, Kyle Kuzma has stepped up his game to an elite level. With the passing of every single, Kuz makes LeBron James, and the Lakers regret their decision of trading him away.

Currently, in the midst of a career-best scoring run, Kyle followed his historic 27-point, 22-rebound double-double with yet another efficient performance. Leading Washington to a 4-point win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the 6-foot-10 forward put up a team-high 29 points, along with 5 rebounds, and 3 assists on an efficient 70.6% shooting from the field and a +/- of +8.
