Overview
- The Lakers beat the Rockets 112-108 in Game 3 to take a 3-0 lead and a chance to clinch the series next game, highlighted by a LeBron-to-Bronny alley-oop.
- After the game, LeBron said Houston "disrespected" Bronny by going under a pick-and-roll.
- Bronny answered with a made three on that coverage and finished 2-for-2 for five points in limited minutes.
- Injuries to teammates have opened a rotation role for Bronny, giving him real playoff minutes to grow his game.
- Earlier in the series they became the first father–son duo to share minutes in an NBA playoff game.
