Bronny James scored his first NBA basket for the Los Angeles Lakers in a 134-110 defeat by the Cleveland Cavaliers.<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> to share the court in an NBA game during the Lakers’ season-opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

“It was insane. Much more than I anticipated for sure. It was a nice moment,” said Bronny.<\/p>\n

“The chants really got me. I was straight-faced but I felt it. It felt pretty good, especially coming from here. It was a special moment for me.”<\/p>\n

LeBron said: “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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 44 points as the New York Knicks beat the Miami Heat 116-107, while the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs 105-93.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
