KYLE KUZMA SAT at his locker, still wearing his white and green No. 18 jersey with his feet soaking in two buckets of ice. The Milwaukee Bucks just lost to the Orlando Magic 111-109 after Damian Lillard missed a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Kyle Kuzma has been incredible for the Milwaukee Bucks, and a sizeable reason for that has to do with his outside shot.
