Not just that, Bronny got an and-1 opportunity on the play as he aggressively drove to the rim. The Wizards and Lakers fans gave him a standing ovation for it.

Bronny James' fourth quarter was an eventful one. Unlike his previous few games in the Lakers jersey, the rookie was in the mix to make something happen, and he eventually did with the and-1. Bronny was also active on the other end, forcing a 24-second violation on defense while guarding one of the Wizards' perimeter players in the corner.

Bronny received an MVP chance when he went to the line for the second and third time after drawing a shooting foul. His father, LeBron James, was as animated as anyone after seeing Bronny score his five points, especially the and-1 to break his field goal drought after eight games.

Lakers forward Rui Hachimura gave insight into the moment, describing how much LeBron cares for his eldest son, saying:

"You guys have no idea how much LeBron cares about Bronny."

Hachimura and the rest of the Lakers bench were also hyped for Bronny James. The Japanese forward also put LeBron in a headlock while celebrating Bronny's and-1.
