“Why did LeBron James trade Kyle Kuzma away for Russell Westbrook!?”: NBA Twitter explodes as the Wizards star drops a 36-point double-double becoming 3rd player in franchise to achieve a special feat

Kyle Kuzma was absolutely clinical in the Wizards’ 124-121 win over the Hornets, dropping 36 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists.

The Charlotte Hornets were hosted by Kyle Kuzma and his Washington Wizards at the Captial One Arena. It was an action-packed thriller between the 7^th and 8^th seeded teams of the Eastern Conference. And after 11 lead changes and 6 ties with the contest going down to the wire, it was Wes Unseld Jr’s. boys who grabbed a huge 124-121 win.

It was a huge night for the Hornets’ trio of Gordon Hayward, Miles Bridges, and Terry Rozier. The three of them combined for 75 of the team’s points and dished out 11 assists while hitting 30 out of the 50 total field goals. However, their fantastic performance was eclipsed by the heroics of Kuzma.

Playing nearly 41 minutes, Kyle dropped a season-high 36 points (just 5 shy of his career-best), grabbed 14 rebounds, and dished out 6 assists. Steeping up as the team’s secondary playmaker, only to Bradley Beal, Kuz was visibly more aggressive in attacking the rim. And that is exactly what he spoke about in his postgame interview.

“I’m just being really aggressive,” Kuzma said. “I just put my head down and try to get to the rim, take an open 3 if it’s there. If not, not try to settle.”
