History was made in Houston on Friday night at the Toyota Center when LeBron James tossed an alley-oop to his son Bronny James Jr. for a reverse layup in the second quarter of Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.
The play, which occurred with 7:14 remaining in the second quarter was the first ever father-to-son assist in NBA Playoff history.
Bronny made the most of his six-minute burst in the second quarter, scoring five points, including a stepback three that ignited the crowd, turning the Toyota Center into a home game for the Los Angeles Lakers. The arena was half-empty for arguably the most important game of the season for the Rockets.
LeBron recently called playing with his son in the NBA Playoffs in front of his mother, Florida, and his wife, Savannah, and daughter Zhuri, surreal.
“I was on the floor with my son in a playoff game. That’s probably the craziest thing that’s ever happened to me in my career,” said James after Game 1 in Los Angeles last Saturday. “My mom got to watch her son and her grandson during the playoffs. That’s crazy.”
The Lakers lead the best-of-seven series 2-0, and currently lead at halftime of Game 3, 63-52.
