LeBron James recently expressed his thoughts on the possibility of playing alongside his younger son, Bryce James, in the NBA. After a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, he reflected on this dream, saying, “Oh s—. Bryce is a senior. I don’t know. We’ll see. We’ll see. That would be pretty cool.”
The Los Angeles Lakers drafted LeBron’s eldest son, Bronny, this past summer at No. 55. LeBron’s dream of teaming up with Bronny has now become a reality.
In Cleveland, the Lakers faced a tough matchup against the Cavaliers, who won 134-110. The Cavaliers extended their undefeated record to 5-0, showcasing their strong start this season.
Evan Mobley led Cleveland with 25 points, while Donovan Mitchell contributed 24 points. Jarrett Allen recorded a double-double with 20 points and 17 rebounds, helping the Cavaliers establish a commanding lead early in the game.
Cleveland’s impressive start marks only the third time in franchise history that they have opened a season with five straight wins. This also marks their best start since the 2016-17 season when LeBron was still part of the team.
In a memorable moment during the game, Bronny James scored his first NBA points with a 14-foot jumper.
LeBron James led the Lakers with 26 points in the loss. Anthony Davis also had a strong performance, contributing 22 points and 13 rebounds. However, the Lakers struggled to keep pace with the Cavaliers’ high-energy offense.
The Lakers faced challenges early in the game, including turnovers and defensive lapses. Cleveland took advantage of these mistakes, building a 19-point lead after the first quarter. They hit four quick three-pointers, including back-to-back shots from Mitchell.
Jarrett Allen’s dominant performance and Caris LeVert’s 16 points off the bench emphasized Cleveland’s depth and commitment to ball movement. This strategy has been a key focus under new head coach Kenny Atkinson.
Darius Garland experienced early foul trouble, but LeVert stepped up to maintain Cleveland’s offensive rhythm. His contributions ensured the Cavaliers could continue their momentum throughout the game.
Despite the Lakers’ bench providing some support, with rookie Dalton Knecht leading reserves with 18 points, it wasn’t enough to overcome Cleveland’s relentless tempo. The Cavaliers’ strong defense also played a crucial role in keeping Los Angeles at bay.
