Lakers' Bronny James shines with highlights in dad LeBron's return to Cleveland image

The Los Angeles Lakers would've loved for this to happen on a better night for their team.

But this night was about the Cleveland Cavaliers until Bronny James came into the game late to put on a little show in his dad LeBron's return to Cleveland.

Bronny checked in with more than seven minutes to play and the game well in hand for the Cavs, and he cruise-controlled through his first few minutes.

But then, a loose ball, and there went Bronny, soaring in for a transition dunk.

Might've been a few extra steps in there, but still a nice smile for dad.

Then there Bronny was, hitting a 3-pointer.

And then he was really feeling it, shooting a stepback and drilling it, too, to give himself eight rapid-fire points.

Bronny added two rebounds, an assist and a steal in what officially went into the books as eight minutes of action.

Ironically, pops only had 11 points on the night, along with six turnovers, so not ideal for King James.

But for his son, something to build on. Bronny wasn't in the rotation and only played in the late stages of a blowout, after the Cleveland crowd had already chanted, "We want Bronny!"

He at least gave them something to cheer about, with the road fans still clearly enjoying LeBron's son making some plays in the 216.
