Bronny James sets up father LeBron in Lakers win

Bronny James, 19, has spent two years competing with his father, LeBron, on the Los Angeles Lakers roster. The younger James made history during the team’s 119-103 victory over the Golden State Warriors by delivering the first assist between a son and father in NBA history. His pass to LeBron, who dashed down the court for an easy dunk, highlighted a standout performance from the 41-year-old, who tallied 26 points in the game.

In the same match, LeBron added 11 assists, while Bronny contributed 10 points and three assists. The Lakers, now ranked fourth in the Western Conference, continue their push for the playoffs, which begin on 18 April. Meanwhile, the Warriors remain in 10th place, still in contention for a postseason berth.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Miami Heat 128-114, and the Houston Rockets edged out the Philadelphia 76ers 113-102, both strengthening their playoff hopes.
