To say Bronny James took a while to get going Thursday night would be an understatement.
But when the Los Angeles Lakers’ famous second-year guard got going, he did it in a hurry.
LeBron’s son had zero points through two quarters against the Celtics in Las Vegas NBA Summer League action.
At the end of the game, Bronny had 18 points, eight of which came in the fourth quarter.
It wasn’t enough to lead a comeback, as the Lakers fell 87-78. It definitely made Bronny’s supporters feel better about what was shaping up prior to be an ugly night, though.
Bronny added five assists, three rebounds and a steal for the game.

He went a bit viral in the first half for a tough drive move that resulted in an ugly turnover.
But as Bronny got comfortable with how the Celtics were playing him, he was able to find his way to some buckets.
Now the Lakers will be hoping he can do a little more of that before the game gets out of hand.
