Bronny James scores first NBA playoffs points, with some help from LeBron
Bronny got a screen and an assist from his father on his first two baskets of the postseason.
For three straight games, Bronny James has received some minutes at the start of the second quarter for the Los Angeles Lakers in their first-round series against the Houston Rockets. He finally made them count in Game 3, with some help from his father. The eldest son of LeBron James scored his first career playoff points with a pull-up 3-pointer and a lay-up in transition on back-to-back possessions.
He got support from his father on both baskets, with LeBron boxing out defender Jae'Sean Tate to give him oxygen for the 3-pointer than getting the assist on the lay-up. The full sequence: "Bronny James from his dad! " Bronny's first playoff buckets ๐ pic.
