LeBron James Reflects on 'Mini-Moments' With Bronny During NBA Playoffs in Video After Lakers' Win

LeBron James has allowed his main focus to shift at times so far this postseason when he has been able to share the court with his son for the Los Angeles Lakers in their series against the Houston Rockets.

After the Lakers' dramatic overtime win in Game 3 on Friday, James admitted he has had "mini-moments" in the series when the wall he constructs to lock in for the playoffs has come down because he's been able to play with Bronny.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick turned to Bronny for nine minutes on Friday night, more than he played in the first two games combined. The 21-year-old responded with five points on 2-of-2 shooting, including catching an alley-oop from LeBron in the second quarter that marked the first father-to-son assist in playoff history.

With Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves out due to injuries, the Lakers turned to Bronny more often down the stretch. He has played in 13 consecutive games between the regular season and playoffs, the longest streak of his career.

Bronny has made the most of his limited minutes against the Rockets. He is plus-eight in 16 minutes.

The absence of Dončić and Reaves has also put a lot on LeBron's plate. He has responded by averaging 25.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game against Houston.

Now, the Lakers are in a great position to advance and potentially get Dončić and Reaves back in the second round as they try to put together a deep postseason run.

LeBron, Bronny and the Lakers will go for a sweep of the Rockets in Game 4 at Toyota Center on Sunday at 9:30 p.m. ET.
