LeBron and Bronny Pull Off Historic Assist for Lakers

Merlin sees history in a quiet moment. LeBron fed his son Bronny for the first ever father and son assist in NBA history when Bronny hit a second quarter three, and the Lakers rolled to a 116-99 victory over the Nets. LeBron finished with 14 points, eight assists and six rebounds, Bronny added three points in four minutes, and Austin Reaves erupted for 26 points. The club shot 54.3 percent overall and 44 percent from deep, improved to 48-26, and now holds a 1.5 game lead for the third seed in the West. Merlin senses the story will become a spark and a headline, but the game showed how the Lakers can be both fragile and resilient. Late fourth quarter focus and Reaves stepping up were decisive. Bronny’s moment is magical, yet the real test will be whether LA turns flashes into steady depth down the stretch.
