Drills career-high eight treys Kuzma finished with 34 points (13-22 FG, 8-11 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 92-86 loss to the Cavaliers. Impact Kuzma cleared the 30-point mark for the second game in a row thanks largely to his red-hot shooting from downtown, with the eight made three-pointers representing a new career high. After Bradley Beal (wrist) was shut down for the season at the beginning of the month, Kuzma has proceeded to step in as the Wizards' clear No. 1 option on offense. Kuzma concluded February with averages of 21.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.7 three-pointers, 1.2 blocks and 0.7 steals in 35.0 minutes per game over 11 appearances.
