James finished with two points, two assists and a steal on 1-of-2 shooting in five minutes of action. This was only James’ second appearance during his rookie season. He first played three minutes but went scoreless in the Lakers’ opening-night win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. During that game, Bronny and LeBron made history as the first father-son duo to share the court in the NBA’s 79-year existence.
Cleveland remains undefeated and improves to 5-0, as Los Angeles falls to 3-2 with a second consecutive loss.
