The Los Angeles Lakers look to get back to their winning ways in Wednesday night's game with the Indiana Pacers. The Lakers had their nine-game winning streak snapped by the East-leading Detroit Pistons, 113-110, on Monday night.
Sitting at 16-56, the Pacers gave a great opportunity to make a comeback. Los Angeles took advantage of that opportunity and took a 29-point lead in the third quarter. Despite a late rally, Los Angeles prevailed 137–130.
In the win, several bench players received considerable time on the field. This includes LeBron James, son, Bronny James.
In 13 minutes of action, the young James scored four points. One of his two baskets was a rim-rattling dunk. James cut down the baseline and caught a no-look bounce pass from Luke Kennard and went up for a one-handed layup.

It was far from the only highlight of the night from the Lakers.
Luka Doncic led all scorers with 43 points on 15-30 shooting. He added seven assists and six rebounds in the win.
Bronny's father LeBron also had a good all-round game. He fell just short of another triple-double, scoring 23 points with nine rebounds and nine assists.
Los Angeles improved to 47–26 on the season. They are two games ahead of the Denver Nuggets for the No. 3 seed in the abbreviated Western Conference. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Houston Rockets are close behind, but the Lakers hold the tie-breaker over all three teams.
