Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma was left utterly perplexed by the wild back-and-forth game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers, which ended in a nail-biting overtime victory for the Lakers, clinching them the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference.
After the game, Kuzma took to Twitter to express his disbelief, posting an NSFW comment that perfectly captured the crazy nature of the game.
What did Kyle express on Twitter?
In his latest tweet, the Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma writes, “This is a nasty ass game 😭😭,” in an attempt to showcase his astonishment at the result of the game.
The Timberwolves had looked like they had the game in the bag, leading by as much as 15 points at one point. However, the Lakers managed to mount an impressive comeback, with LeBron James leading the charge with 30 points and 10 rebounds. Dennis Schroder was also instrumental in the win, coming off the bench to score 21 points with a plus/minus of +21.
But despite the Lakers’ heroics, the game was far from pretty. Both teams struggled with their shooting and exchanged turnovers at crucial moments, leading to a topsy-turvy affair that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
For Kuzma, the game was just too much to handle, with the former Lakers forward clearly struggling to make sense of what he was seeing. His hilarious tweet summed up the feeling of many fans who watched the game, which was a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish.
While the Lakers can now look ahead to their first-round matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Timberwolves will be left ruing what might have been. They had the game in their grasp, but their shooting soured in the fourth quarter, and they ultimately fell short in overtime.
For Kuzma and many other fans, it was a nasty, crazy, and unforgettable game. The kind of game that makes you wonder why you even bother watching basketball, but also the kind of game that keeps you coming back for more.
Kyle Kuzma Proves Doubters Wrong: Lakers Clinch 7th Seed and Set Sights on NBA Finals
The Los Angeles Lakers have defied the odds this season, battling through injuries and adversity to clinch a spot in the Play-in Tournament. And according to Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma, his former team has what it takes to go all the way to the NBA Finals.
Kuzma isn’t the only one with faith in the Lakers, as many media members have also jumped on the bandwagon, with Los Angeles being a popular darkhorse-pick to win it all this year.
Despite their rocky start to the season, the Lakers have been one of the hottest teams in the league since the NBA trade deadline in February and will head into the playoffs with some much-needed momentum.
Of course, the primary concern for the Lakers is the health of superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who have struggled to stay healthy consistently. But if these two can stay on the court and play at a high level, there’s no doubt that the Lakers have the talent to go the distance this year. Kuzma’s prediction may just come true after all.
