Tuesday night saw six games on NBA regular season. LeBron James had 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his third consecutive triple-double, and visiting Los Angeles rallied to beat the Chicago Bulls 118-112 for their sixth straight victory.
The Lakers young guard Kyle Kuzma scored 11 of his 15 points in the final period during his third game after missing the start of the season with a right ankle injury. The 24-year-old got hurt while playing for USA Basketball this past summer.
"I'm getting there," Kuzma said, adding "It's a process, I know. It's all about being patient right now because I haven't really had much basketball time since August."
Kuzma averaged 18.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game last season. The Lakers are hoping he can provide a viable third option alongside the leading duo of James and Davis.
"Kuz got into a rhythm, and that's what he's capable of," James said.
Quinn Cook added 17 points off the bench for Los Angeles. Anthony Davis finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots in his return to his hometown.
