Lakers Rout Warriors to Halt Skid as LeBron Calls Daughter Zhuri His 'Good Luck Charm'

It was her first regular-season road trip, a milestone James said reflects how fatherhood has softened him.

Overview

  • Los Angeles beat Golden State 129-101 to snap a three-game losing streak in San Francisco.
  • Zhuri James, 11, joined her father pregame for dribbling drills, banked a backward trick shot and tossed him an alley-oop before their handshake.
  • LeBron James called her a good luck charm and noted the Lakers are 1-0 with her on a regular-season road trip.
  • James said being a girl dad has softened him compared with the tough-love approach he uses with sons Bronny and Bryce, and he joked Zhuri is focused on volleyball per Savannah James' wishes.
  • James finished with 22 points, seven rebounds and nine assists as the Warriors played without injured Stephen Curry; he and Zhuri also visited Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge before the game.
