The Cavaliers recorded their greatest start to a season since 2016–17 with five consecutive victories, led by Donovan Mitchell’s 24 points and Evan Mobley’s 25.
During the Lakers’ season-opening game against the Minnesota Timberwolves last week, LeBron James, 39, who had previously played for Cleveland twice, and his son Bronny, 20, made NBA history by becoming the first father-son team to play together.
It’s an incredible moment to watch him make his first NBA basket in this arena, where he grew up not too far away, LeBron remarked.
Bronny scored his first NBA points on a step-back, 14-foot shot over Tristan Thompson after entering the game with little over five minutes remaining against the Cavaliers.
With less than a minute remaining, he missed a three-point try, and his father finished with 26 points, six rebounds, and six turnovers.
In the meantime, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Boston Celtics 135-132 in Indianapolis thanks to a game-winning three-pointer from Pascal Siakam with 7.3 seconds left in overtime.
