Over the last 10 games, the Lakers have had the sixth-worst offense in the NBA and shot 33.8% from deep, the fifth-worst percentage in the league. So to say they were due for some upwards regression is an understatement, but even with that in mind, their explosion from distance against the Sacramento Kings was almost unbelievable.

Just about everyone shot well in this one, but leading the way was Kyle Kuzma. The Lakers’ stopgap starter scorched the Kings from everywhere on the floor, dunking, hitting hook shots and gliding into confident jumpers all night. Apparently Luke Walton’s presence in the building is something akin to PEDs for Kuzma, who flamed his former coach’s new team for 30 points.
