Lakers’ Kyle Kuzma scores 35, wins MVP, leads USA to victory in Rising Stars dunkfest

Nobody comes to the Friday night Rising Stars Challenge — the All-Star weekend showcase of first- and second-year stars — for the defense. For example, the Hawks' John Collins was showing off why he was in the dunk contest, complete with a pass off the backboard to himself. The Lakers Kyle Kuzma raced out to 23 first-half points and finished with 35 to earn MVP honors.
