LeBron & Bronny Combine for 36 Points as Lakers Blow Out Warriors 119-103

The James family had themselves a night in San Francisco. LeBron dropped 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 11 assists on absurd 11-17 shooting before checking out with the Lakers up 25. But the real story was Bronny — the kid finished with 10 points on 4-7 from the field, adding 3 assists and 2 steals in what might have been his best game of the season.

The highlight reel was everything the NBA dreamed about when this father-son experiment started. Bronny stole the ball and found LeBron running the lane for a fastbreak layup. LeBron returned the favor, setting up Bronny for a corner three. The crowd — even Warriors fans — couldn't help but appreciate what they were watching. This isn't a gimmick anymore. Bronny is contributing real minutes on a team pushing for the 3-seed.

The Lakers are now 51-29 with two games left, and if they win tomorrow night against the Spurs, San Antonio could return the favor by beating the Nuggets and bumping LA up to the 3-seed. LeBron is now 5,000 points ahead of Kareem on the all-time scoring list. He checked out smiling. You would too.
