Bronny James receives a standing ovation on the road as the Los Angeles Lakers dominate the Washington Wizards 134-96. In a game that showcased the Lakers’ prowess, LeBron James contributed significantly with 24 points and 11 assists before taking a break for the final quarter.
During this time, Bronny took the court for the entire fourth quarter, marking a personal milestone by scoring a career-high five points. The excitement from the crowd was palpable, as fans chanted his name long before he entered the game.
Despite finishing with a shooting record of 1 of 6, Bronny made a memorable impact by driving to the basket and scoring while being fouled by Tristan Vukcevic with just under three minutes left in the game. He successfully completed the three-point play, much to the delight of the fans.
For the Wizards, this defeat marked their 16th consecutive loss, tying a franchise record for the most losses in a row, a statistic that highlights their struggles this season.
The game quickly slipped out of reach for Washington after the opening minutes, even though the Lakers were without their star player Anthony Davis, who was sidelined due to an abdominal strain. The Wizards also faced challenges, missing rookie Alex Sarr due to a sprained left ankle.
Los Angeles has shown resilience, winning five of their last six games after a tough loss to the Philadelphia 76ers just days earlier.
This victory stands as the Lakers’ most significant win of the season, surpassing their previous 111-88 victory over the Wizards just a week prior.
As the game drew to a close, with the Lakers leading by 39 points and only 1:25 left, rookie Dalton Knecht was ejected after receiving two technical fouls for arguing.
Jordan Poole led the scoring for the Wizards, finishing with 19 points, but it was clear that the night belonged to the Lakers and the rising star, Bronny James.
