The Los Angeles Lakers went full Showtime on Sunday as they hosted the Orlando Magic at Staples Center with Alex Caruso and Kyle Kuzma taking centerstage. The two put on the clamps on the defensive end before finishing a solid play in transition where Caruso hit a trailing Kuzma en route to a tough bucket.
Just a beautiful end-to-end play against the Magic (via Lakers).

Kuzma's Euro-step finish was too nice that Anthony Davis had to stand up and do his own version on the sidelines.
Kuzma and Caruso balled out on Sunday. With AD and LeBron James out, other Lakers are getting their reps in and making the most out of their opportunities to step up and contribute until their two hobbled superstars return.
As usual, Alex Caruso made his presence felt with 21 efficient minutes off the bench. The do-it-all guard had his fingerprints all over the game with three points, four boards, five assists, two steals, and a block, while playing terrific one-on-one defense.
Kuzma, meanwhile, started his fifth straight game and bounced back after a dismal four-point performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers the last time out. The 25-year-old Kyle Kuzma finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds to help the Lakers secure the 96-93 win over the visiting Magic.
