“Rondo set the tone for us,” said Kuzma, who stayed up until nearly 5 a.m. talking with Rondo and several other teammates about basketball after getting into OKC well past midnight on Friday. “Going right at CP [Chris Paul] right out the gate, being a scorer.” And then Kuzma shut the door on any comeback designs the Thunder might have had, extending L.A.’s lead from 13 to 16 with 1 minute, 40 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter on a tough, pull-up 3 from 26 feet out. “Ever since I was a kid, playing in open gyms at the YMCA, probably score is 10-10 or 11-11, I’m taking that shot,” said Kuzma, who finished with 36 points. “So it’s something that I just enjoy doing, and I’m confident in myself.”
