"Bang Bang," Savannah wrote.
Bronny James had struggled from beyond the arc in a Lakers jersey, missing his first nine 3-point attempts. However, the rookie finally broke through, sinking his 10th attempt from deep and getting the proverbial monkey off his back.
While his shooting efficiency with the Lakers has been inconsistent, the young guard has demonstrated his ability to knock down shots from long range during his time with the South Bay Lakers in the G League.
