CLEVELAND — LeBron James let his son, Bronny, have the Cleveland stage to himself. As the Los Angeles Lakers superstar watched from the bench, Bronny James scored his first points in an NBA game — on a shot that looked just like his old man — in a 134-110 loss to the Cavaliers. LeBron James checked out in the fourth quarter and saw his son soak in the love of a Cleveland crowd that cheered him for 11 seasons. Cleveland's crowd began chanting "We want Bronny!" in the fourth hoping to see the rookie they watched grow up. He checked in with 5:16 left and made first basket on a jumper from the left corner with 2:03 left.
