The LA Lakers played the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. It was an exciting game and a special homecoming for LeBron James, who got another chance to play with his son, Bronny. A win would have made the night perfect, especially since it was also Halloween. Unfortunately, the Lakers lost badly, which ended all the fun.
Things didn’t go as planned for “King James” during his homecoming, as the team lost to the Cavaliers 134-110. LeBron scored 26 points after a tough game against the Suns, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a second loss in a row.
Fans cheered for LeBron, who has a special history with the Cavaliers, on the court. Anthony Davis added 22 points and 13 rebounds, but neither could change the result. Bronny scored his first NBA points with a jumper in the last minutes, but the Cavaliers’ strong defense and shooting led to an effortless win.
Patrick Beverley’s bold prediction for Lakers’ season ahead
Former Lakers guard Patrick Beverley recently made a bold prediction about his old team. He said that the franchise, led by LeBron James and new coach JJ Redick, will finish in the top 4 in the Western Conference this season. On his podcast, Beverley talked about the team’s strong start, with a 3-1 record before today’s loss.
He said, “Shoutout to the Lakers. So if the Lakers would’ve started off 0-3, everybody would have been yelling, ‘Fire JJ Redick!’ Top 4 seed in the West… marking it now.” Beverley also commented on the impact of Bronny James joining the team, suggesting that having Bronny on the bench provides extra motivation for LeBron.
He added, “The motivation is on ‘Bron to put in front of his son. Don’t send him to the G League. Yeah ‘Bron need to see his shorty out there on every bench. I see my son out there after I hit a mother******* with a fade, Ima hit another mother******* with another fade. Cause my son right there.”
