The Lakers finally ended their losing streak with an impressive victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday. The bench contributed greatly to the scoring, which is a great sign for the team going ahead in the season.
Kyle Kuzma led the team in scoring with 24 points on the night, alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who pitched in 21 and 20 points, respectively. The bench made the difference for both the teams as Lakers had four non-starters scoring in double-digits.
The Lakers will be hopeful of another all-around effort by the team.
Key Player - Kyle Kuzma
Kyle Kuzma is a critical part of this Lakers' puzzle, and the last game was another proof of it. He looked flawless on the offense, shooting well from the field as well as beyond the three-point line.
With Luka Doncic back for Dallas, Kuz will have to put up big numbers tonight again for the Lakers.

Lebron James, Anthony Davis, JaVale McGee, Danny Green, Avery Bradley.
