Lakers’ Bronny James scores first NBA points of his career in Cleveland

Bronny James scored the first points of his NBA career on Wednesday night as the Los Angeles Lakers lost 134-110 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James entered the game late in the fourth quarter and the game was already in the bag for the Cavaliers. On the left side of the floor, James crossed and drove to the basket. He then dribbled back to the corner and shot high.

As soon as it came in, the Rocket Mortgage Arena fans cheered him on. Cavaliers fans still have an incredible soft spot for the James family since LeBron James played two stints there and won a championship for his hometown team.

It was Bronny James’ second game of the season. He started the season by stepping on the floor at the same time as his father. However, he’s likely headed to the G League for most of the season.

THREE-POINT SHOT WAS ‘the worst thing that could happen to basketball,’ says former columnist

Cleveland took care of business despite the emotional night, improving to 5-0 to start the season. They are the first team to reach the 5-0 mark this season.

Evan Mobley led the Cavaliers with 25 points and five rebounds. Donovan Mitchell scored 24 points on 10-for-20 shooting from the floor, including four 3-pointers. He also had seven assists and three steals. Jarrett Allen had 20 points and 17 rebounds.

The Lakers fell to 3-2 this year.
