Bronny James scored his first NBA basket for the Los Angeles Lakers in a 134-110 defeat by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Evan Mobley grabbed 25 points and Donovan Mitchell added 24 as the Cavaliers made it five straight wins to record their best start to a season since 2016-17.
LeBron James, 39, who previously had two spells at Cleveland, and his son Bronny, 20, made history last week, becoming the first father-son duo to share the court in an NBA game during the Lakers’ season-opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“To see him get his first NBA basket in this arena, where he grew up not too far from here – it’s an unbelievable moment,” LeBron said.
Bronny came on with just over five minutes left against the Cavaliers and scored his first NBA points on a step-back, 14-foot jumper over Tristan Thompson.
He missed a three-point attempt with less than a minute to play, while his father finished with 26 points, six rebounds and six turnovers.
Meanwhile, Pascal Siakam made a tie-breaking three-pointer with 7.3 seconds remaining in overtime to help the Indiana Pacers defeat the Boston Celtics 135-132 in Indianapolis.
Jaylen Brown missed a three-point attempt to tie the game on the defending champions’ final possession, resulting in a first defeat of the season.
